Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - How you can help

Every day in America, 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. There is no known cause of childhood cancer, and it occurs regularly and randomly across all ethnic groups. Some children are even born with cancer. 

No kid should ever have to endure the pain and suffering of cancer.  Every three minutes a parent hears, your child has cancer.   Matter of fact, nearly 50 children a day are diagnosed with cancer

Oftentimes it only takes a small child to open our eyes and realize we need to do something!
