Today is September the 1st, and it is officially Childhood Cancer Awareness month. - Childhood cancers are the #1 disease killer of our children, more than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and pediatric AIDS combined. -One in every 330 children will develop cancer before the age of 19. - One out of every five children diagnosed with cancer dies. - Three out of every five children diagnosed with cancer suffer from long-term or late onset side effects - Cancer in childhood occurs regularly, randomly, and spares no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region. - On the average, 12500 children and adolescents in the US are diagnosed with cancer each year. - In the US about 46 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer every single school day. - 2300 children and teenagers will die each year from cancer - Less than 3% of all cancer funding is directed at the twelve major types of childhood cancer. - Wear gold, spread the word and show them you care - Together you can help to find a cure TODAY And also remember that September 12th is Childhood cancer awareness day (Only slightly different from the one on facebook but a different song at the beginning and 3 more kids)
