Monsters are scary, but childhood cancer is scarier. Childhood cancer is the number one cause of death by disease in children in the United States. During the month of October, over 20,000 children (nearly 700 a day!) will be affected by an initial or recurrent diagnosis of childhood cancer. Research is needed and it is needed NOW. 

Together, we can change this scary fact and work together towards cures. 

This Halloween, join the ALSF Halloween Scavenger Hunt and help us scare away childhood cancer for good! Participating is easy and fun, just follow the simple instructions below and share your fun with us on social media using the hashtag #ScareAwayChildhoodCancer.
