Peter and Meghan are running the Disney Half Marathon in memory of Cathy Carter (Meghan's sister) who passed away at the age of 6 from childhood leukemia. One of Cathy's favorite songs was "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" which is the inspiration behind the team name. Although strides have been made since Cathy's passing, there are still an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affecting children under the age of 20 worldwide every year. That's about 700 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.
Kids with cancer don't have time to wait. Your donation will go to research seeking lifesaving treatment. The money you give has the potential to make a huge difference for these kids and their families. Please give!
