Childhood Cancer is the number one disease killer among our children today. One in every 330 children will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 19, with that statistic going up 8% each year. Each day 2 classrooms’ full of children are diagnosed. Of those 1 in 4 will die, 2 will go on with life long physical, mental, emotional and health issues and 1 will live a normal happy healthy life. The drugs that we are using to treat Childhood Cancer were developed 20-30 years ago and are very toxic to their bodies. If we don't increase research it is going to be just as common as breast cancer, which could really affect our younger generation. Leukemia is the most common type of childhood cancer. Every 5 minutes someone is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's. Every 9 minutes someone dies.

Observe your child for any sudden, persistent changes in health or behavior as listed above. Since most of the symptoms oc cancer can also be attributed to denign conditions, the diagnosis of cancer can be a long procss.
