26 months ago I had no idea what childhood cancer was all about. I had seen the St. Jude commercials and my heart broke watching the kids, but I had no idea what IT really was. That all changed when Matthew was born. Now I am all too aware. I know that 46 kids are diagnosed every single day with cancer. I know that 7 kids die each day due to cancer. I know that the side effects that treatment has on kids is something that will effect them forever. I also know that only 3.8% of cancer research funding goes to help our kids. Unfortunately I know first hand what it's like to have a child with cancer. I have seen my child go through 6 brain surgeries and chemo. I have watched him lose his hair, throw up day after day, get thousands of pokes. I have held him as he cried, just wanting it all to stop. I have walked into his hospital room to see doctors and nurses revive him while the chaplain waited for me. Guess what--I am not alone. Thousands of parents deal with this every day. It's not fair. Our kids deserve to be just that--KIDS. Please help us to find a cure for childhood cancer and fund research for our kids.
