9 Angels 9 Months
Yes, 9 angels over 9 months. With cancer, a child loses an average of 71 years of life, vs. an adult's 15 years. Cancer robs the world of children who would have been a class valedictorian, a teacher, a mom or a dad, a politician or a doctor – maybe the doctor who unlocks a breakthrough in cancer research. Childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of children. Every 3 minutes a child is diagnosed worldwide. Yet, the federal government only spends 4% of its funds on childhood cancer research. That 4% has stayed the same since Connor's Heroes started 10 years ago! With your help, we can make pediatric cancer a priority!
