United StatesOur son Alex was killed by childhood cancer in 2008 at the age of 14. Childhood cancer kills more children in the US than all other diseases that affect kids combined -- yet funding from the National Cancer Institute for life-saving research continues to decline, funding from the American Cancer Society is less than 1/2 a penny for every dollar they receive, and funding from the pharmaceutical industry is virtually non-existent. The incidence of childhood cancer continues to rise, now 1 in every 285 kids will be diagnosed before age 20, and no new drugs have been approved by the FDA in nearly two decades. Your donation will be directed to research specific to children and may just be the dollar that will ultimately save a child. Thank you for your donation.
