We are calling on the president of the United States to increase federal funding for childhood cancer research. Every 2 minutes another child is diagnosed with cancer, but research funding only gets a mere 3.8% funding by the federal government. That's a penny of every dollar that the government spends daily. Our kids lives deserve more than a penny, they deserve treatments that won't kill them faster than the disease itself. On August 3rd of this year my 2 year old son was diagnosed with stage 3 Wilms Tumor. The tumor was in his kidney, and growing around his major blood vessel in his belly. I believe that if there was more research he could have been diagnosed before it turned into a stage 3 cancer. But that is our reality because there has to be one million active cancer cells for the machine to detect the cancer. This leaves 60% of the children that are diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 cancers because it can not be caught soon enough.. well NO MORE, THEY DESERVE MORE THAN 3.8%. Sign and share this so kids like mine can have a fighting chance against this ugly disease
