Facts About Childhood Cancer

Childhood Cancer Facts

Each day, 43 kids in the US are expected
to be diagnosed with cancer.

Cancer is the number one
cause of death by disease among children.

More than 95% of childhood cancer survivors have significant health-related issues because of the current treatment options.

Only 4% of the billions of dollars the government spends annually on cancer research is directed towards treating childhood cancer.

Current pediatric cancer treatments are not working.

Imagine…

Your Loved One Gets Cancer
You learn your child, grandchild, brother, sister, niece, or nephew has cancer.
There’s Not Many Treatment Options Available
You learn the only treatment option is adult therapies from the 1960s, with debilitating lasting side effects.
If They Survive, They Will Have Impairments
If your loved one survives, they have a 95 percent chance of developing chronic health problems, secondary cancers, cognitive impairments, and a shortened lifespan due to harsh medical treatments.

This is the reality for families battling childhood cancer.
