Every year, an estimated 263,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 worldwide.  That's 720 new kids affected every day.  And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded.  Less than 5% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers each year.

Every day, parents of children battling cancer travel thousands of miles for treatments.  That’s why this September, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re going a million miles to raise awareness and fundraise for cures.  We invite you to join our team and run, walk and/or ride to show your support for this cause.

Kids with cancer don't have time to wait.  While our main objective is to promote awareness, your donation will go toward research seeking lifesaving treatment.  The money you give has the potential to make a huge difference for these kids and their families.  For more information, please visit http://www.alexslemonade.org/how-your-donation-helps.
