September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
We need more awareness: pediatric cancer is the #1 reason our children die from disease (second only to accidents), 1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer will die and 2/3 of those treated for cancer will suffer from long-term side effects of their treatment.
We need more research: In 2011, the National Cancer Institute budget was $5.196 billion. Together, all childhood cancers received only
3.7% of that.
We need more action: what will YOU do to help?
