Now.....Imagine

Imagine walking into the Dr's office sitting down, he stares at you with a very bad look. He tells you in a calm voice.. we got your results back, and......the news is not good. I am so sorry.. it's not the results we wanted-the test's show the worst... you have Cancer. You will need to start Chemo right away, you will need a Central line placed in your chest, you will get very very sick, you will loose all your hair, You will need to be in isolation for a while and you may have to miss a lot of work. You may suffer long term or permanent side affects and you will never be the same.. and....you may die. Devastating, and pretty Scary right?!!

Now........ imagine it's your child.

Cancer remains the #1 cause of death by disease in children.
The death of one more child to cancer is one too many.
Only research cures childhood cancer.

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.

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.

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.
