When
Every day, there are almost 800 new cases of childhood cancer around the world. This adds up to an estimated 300,000 new cases of cancer that 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 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 fund research into safer, more effective treatments and cures, for ATRT (atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor). ATRT is an aggressive central nervous system cancer with poor prognosis. The 5 year survival rate is around 30% (age, location of tumor and other variables do impact the survival rate). ATRT usually occurs by the age of 3, but can be found in older children (and adults - very rare). Help give ATRT families hope by donating today! Thank you.
