Fundraiser Details
When
Noah Sileno was diagnosed at three and a half years old with high-risk B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He has been battling cancer for almost two years now. Noah made a very special friend named Isaac Long who was also battling childhood cancer. These two warriors became the best of friends. Sadly, Noah lost his 2 East hospital big brother and best friend, Isaac, to Fibrolamellar Hepatocelluar Carcinoma on 2/28/2019. Childhood cancer is not rare and our kids deserve so much more.
Every day, there are almost 700 new cases of childhood cancer around the world. This adds up to an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 each year worldwide. And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded with less than 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers each year.
Today, the money you donate has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of kids with cancer (and their families). Your donation will go to research into better and safer treatments and more cures. Please don’t make these kids wait longer than they have to and give today!
