Every year 12,500 children and teens are diagnosed with cancer. That means every school day,
46 children or 2 classrooms of students, are diagnosed with cancer!
Our children have a 1 in 300 chance of being diagnosed with cancer by the age of 20.
Every year 2,500 children lose their lives to cancer.
Today, 78 % survive. 3 out of 5 children suffer from long term effects.
CANCER IS THE NUMBER ONE DISEASE KILLER OF OUR CHILDREN! ------ more than from asthma, diabetes,
cystic fibrosis, and pediatric AIDS combined.
