Getting more awareness for childhood cancer


Getting more awareness for childhood cancer
The Issue
Childhood Cancer Awareness only receives 3.8% of funding from the National Cancer Institute. In the U.S. this year 13,500 children with be diagnosed with cancer, and just this year 2,500 will pass away. The other 96% of funding goes to adult cancers. Our children need to be the first priority. These children are our future. So many children don't get to experience anything throughout their life and so many parents can not watch their children grow up because of childhood cancer. I have so many cancer friends, and it breaks my heart to see them go through what they go through every single day. Please help me change this. Our children deserve better and I won't stop screaming until our kids get MORE THAN 4!
