Our daughter Scarlett was diagnosed with Stage 3 rhabdomyosarcoma at under 2 years old. Her treatment consisted of four IV chemotherapies and an intrathecal chemotherapy; however, many of these drugs were developed with adults in mind. Unfortunately our daughter lost her battle against the monster, cancer. Our hope is with additional research and funding, more pediatric chemotherapies, immunotherapies, and other treatments can be developed. Preferably ones that limit the damage to children's bodies and minds.
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. Give today!
