Ellie was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma in November 2015, at just 7 months old. Only 300 children are diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma each year. Ellie received the same treatment in 2016 and 2017, that she would have received in 1996, due to lack of funding for research. Please help Ellie, and other kids like her, with Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded. Only 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers each year. Our kids deserve #MoreThan4
Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a young cancer patient, was only 4 years old when she decided to hold a lemonade stand to raise money for "her hospital," so doctors could help other kids as they'd helped her. Alex held her first stand in 2000 and continued to hold lemonade stands each year, inspiring support from her community and across the nation. Although sadly Alex passed away at the age of 8, she knew she had reached the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research.
I am carrying on Alex's inspiring legacy by raising money to fight childhood cancer. Will you make a donation? As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact. Thank you!
