Salt Lake City CureSearch Walk! Saturday July 9th, 2011

CureSearch for Children’s Cancer
CureSearch funds the lifesaving research of the Children’s Oncology Group. This group of medical professionals treats more than 90% of children with cancer at more than 200 hospitals in the United States. These experts provide world-class care in communities across the country.

Children’s Cancer Facts
Cancer is the #1 cause of death from disease in children. Every day, 35 children or nearly 2 classrooms are diagnosed with cancer, 7 of these children will not survive. 3 out of 5 children who survive cancer suffer devastating long-term side effects.

Making Progress through Research
During the past 20 years, research has increased the cure rate for children’s cancer by 30%. Today, nearly 80% of children diagnosed with cancer are cured.
Our goal is a 100% cure rate.
Together, we can Reach the Day when every child with cancer is guaranteed a cure.
