Thanks for stopping by!! Please help me raise money for childhood cancer. As many of you know, my son Aaron was diagnosed with cancer over 2 years ago. He is still in treatment. Being exposed to this horrible world of pediatric cancer has opened our eyes to the desperate need for research funding. This is a way for me to visually support the cause. Having hair and NOT having hair are both symbolic in a cancer journey...please help. Check out our son Aaron's web page at www.caringbridge.org/visit/aaronkarvellas DID YOU KNOW? * In the U.S. almost 3000 children die from cancer each year, more than from asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and pediatric AIDS combined. * Cancer is the number one disease killer of children, * In the past 20 years only one new cancer drug has been approved for pediatric use. * Only 3 percent of the budget from the National Cancer Institute goes towards Pediatric Cancer Research. * September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness month, which nationally goes largely unrecognized. *The government recently cut the budget for Childhood Cancer Research. *Currently there are between 30-40,000 children being treated for cancer in the US. *As a nation, we spend $14 BILLION per year on the space program, but only $35 MILLION on childhood cancer research per year.
