In just a few days, it will be September. September is the start of a new school year, a new season, and it is also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 

Every day, 43 children are diagnosed. Every day, children who should be soaking up the last days of summer at the pool or trying on new sneakers for back-to-school, are forced to undergo painful treatments.
