Aubri Lyn was diagnosed with Stage IIB Neuroblastoma at 7 months old and is currently undergoing agressive chemotherapy treatment. I ran across information concerning the funding provided for pediatric cancer research and feel it's simply NOT enough! 

Approximately 11,400 American children were diagnosed with cancer last year. In prior years, The National Institute of Public Health allocated research funds of $595,000 per diagnosis for pediatric AIDS and only $10,000 per diagnosis for pediatric cancer.

Neuroblastoma is a children's cancer that affects 500 to 1,000 new children in the United States per year. The typical age of diagnosis is 2 1/2, with over 70% diagnosed at stage IV, when solid tumors have spread to two or more areas of the body or vital organs. The long term survival rate of stage IV neuroblastoma patients is under 30%.

Children who are suffering from these cancers are given the most aggressive treatment that their little bodies can possibly tolerate in the hopes that a few will survive.
