Thanksgiving is only 12 days away. Over 15,300 families worldwide and 564 in the USA will have their plans completely turned upside down by a so called "rare" disease. Many of these children will spend the holiday in the hospital. Annually, according to the World Health Organization, over 400,000 children around the world are diagnosed with cancer. Childhood Cancer is NOT "rare," but it certainly should be a priority! Adequate funding for research IS "rare."
The United States Postal Service has created a special Cure Childhood Cancers stamp, to be released in 2027, with proceeds from its additional surcharge supporting childhood cancer research through the National Institutes of Health.

If we are able to reduce the use of toxic chemotherapies in children's cancers in the future, we can actually reduce the incidence of breast cancer. "Breast cancer is the most common subsequent malignant neoplasm among female childhood and adolescent cancer survivors. (1)"
We have over 500,000 childhood cancer survivors just in the US. We can help breast cancer by helping our children. Let's collaborate! Wear two ribbons (pink and gold) this month!

Can stores stop skipping #ChildhoodCancer Awareness Month? Why are there no products to show that Children fight too?

Matthew Stanford Robison passed away at the tender age of 10 after a life marked by severe disabilities, including cerebral palsy that left him blind, mostly paralyzed & confined to a wheelchair.
His father, Ernest Robison, crafted this poignant bronze memorial statue to capture the joyful moment of his son’s release into the afterlife, rising triumphantly from his wheelchair, one foot planted on the seat, arms outstretched toward the sky, finally free from earthly limitations & burdens.
This touching tribute transforms grief into a powerful symbol of hope, healing & eternal freedom.

For several years, during September, childhood cancer advocates held a Candlelight Vigil in front of the White House. With candles lit, tender voices sang Amazing Grace.
Won’t it be AMAZING when all children can receive their cure?

Ring the bell 🔔
Treatment is done!
But it’s nowhere near “over.”
The fatigue drags on.
The calls and cards fade.
The search for normalcy intensifies.
Hug a survivor.💛
They need it more than ever.💛

During childhood cancer treatment, “The Team” becomes family. How do families ever adequately thank these people who save lives daily? 💛

1,800 pairs of empty shoes stretched across the National Mall at #CureFest in Washington, DC.
Each pair stands for one of the 1,800 Children & Teens we lose to #PediatricCancer in the United States every year. Yet only about 4% of federal cancer research funding is directed specifically to Children.
These shoes should be running, playing & growing up, not lying empty in the grass.
We MUST do better.

Once upon a time, a smart, articulate, outspoken 10 year old firecracker of a girl told Congress to “Stop talking and start doing.” Tragically, cancer took her a decade ago. But the huge impact of her brief life lives on.

Federal funding for childhood cancer research is heartbreakingly teeny. Childhood cancer foundations- often run by bereaved parents- do their best to fill the enormous gap.

Want to see what heroes for children facing cancer look like?
No capes
No fancy masks
No special uniform
No special powers
These people utilize pure determination, drive, and relentless action against childhood cancer.
Heroes, all!💛
