Childhood Cancer Awareness

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. There's a bit of information that I learned today about childhood cancer advancements...and that is there is very little progress. In the last 20 years only 1 new drug has been created and approved. Only 3% of funding goes to pediatric cancer research...3%

Are you outraged? Because I am...Everyone of us should care about this because it affects all of us. Not any one person reading this blog is immune to the effects of cancer...we all know of someone who has battled it. And the fact that at any given time it could strike one of our children, grandkids, neices--nephews...we should all be outraged.

What can we do? We have to take a stand, not just against cancer...but take a stand for our children. There is a petition being generated to get 1,000,000 signatures to increase funding for pediatric cancer to FIND A CURE!! That's what it's all about.
