Raising critical awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research.
The Quiet Reality of Childhood Cancer
OUR MISSION
Dedicated to raising critical awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research.
How We Got Here
Each year, approximately 17,000 families in the United States receive a childhood cancer diagnosis. We never thought we would be one of them. After experiencing the many harsh realities of the pediatric cancer world, we resolved to join hands with the pediatric cancer community to drive increased awareness and funding for improved therapies for children with cancer.
Our North Star
Four percent of the total federal cancer research budget is dedicated to research for the 112 types of pediatric cancer. This shocking and infuriating reality motivates the work we do. There is meaningful research happening around the country, but without the necessary funding, this work cannot fulfill its potential. The unacceptable impact of this on children with cancer equates to more years lost.
Raising Awareness & Critical Funding
Through grassroots fundraising, along with collaborations with our peers in the pediatric cancer community, we are dedicated to spreading awareness about childhood cancer while raising critical funds for research. These efforts are shining a light on and supporting the innovative work doctors and researchers at children’s hospitals around the country are driving to improve the treatments and outcomes for kids with cancer.
