I'm raising money for childhood cancer research for a lot of reasons: it's incredibly underfunded compared to adult cancer; it's especially tragic when a child is teaching her family about life and death; childhood cancer affects whole families and communities in ways that outsiders can't understand.

I am raising money for childhood cancer research, because no child should have to see her friends relapse and die while she's still on therapy.

I am raising money for childhood cancer research because the treatment given to save a child's life shouldn't be the treatment that leaves him mentally retarded, or gives her a higher risk for other cancers later in life.

I am raising money for childhood cancer research because I believe that we can find better cures. I believe that with the benefit of future research, we can CURE childhood cancers.

We can accomplish so much, but we need your help. Please consider donating for life-saving cancer research. Every dollar counts - every dollar is one step closer to discovering life-saving treatment for children and families that need it.
