FYI - September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month
Today is September the 1st, and it is officially Childhood Cancer Awareness month.
- Childhood cancers are the #1 disease killer of our children, more than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and pediatric AIDS combined.
-One in every 330 children will develop cancer before the age of 19.
- One out of every five children diagnosed with cancer dies.
- Three out of every five children diagnosed with cancer suffer from long-term or late onset side effects
- Cancer in childhood occurs regularly, randomly, and spares no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region.
- On the average, 12,500 children and adolescents in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer each year.
- In the US about 46 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer every single school day.
- 2,300 children and teenagers will die each year from cancer
- Less than 3% of all cancer funding is directed at the twelve major types of childhood cancer.
- Wear gold, spread the word and show them you care
- Together you can help to find a cure TODAY
And also remember that September 12th is Childhood cancer awareness day

Re: FYI - September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month
If you want to do anything else you can donate to the charity I'm running the NY Marathon for. ?It's Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall camps that send children with cancer and other life threatening diseases for free to summer camp. ?They let the kids who suffer daily enjoy a week of fun similar to camps for healthy kids but under the watchful eye of nurses, oncologists and dr.'s. ?
