Every day, there are almost 700 new cases of childhood cancer around the world. This adds up to an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 each year worldwide. And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded with less than 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers each year.

Our AMM team, Ezra's Entourage is named to honor the memory of Ezra S. Perez.  He was our son, brother, grandson, nephew, godson, friend, the little kid with the warm smile and playful personality.  Ezra was diagnosed with brain cancer, a grade 4 malignant glioma just before his 10th birthday in October, 2010.  He underwent surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, none of which really did much good.  He died in July, 2011.  We are walking, biking, and running this September in an effort to raise money for pediatric cancer research and raise awareness of this horrible disease.

Today, the money you donate has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of kids with cancer (and their families). Your donation will go to research into better and safer treatments and more cures. Please don’t make these kids wait longer than they have to and give today!
