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 affecting 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.

Laurel Simer was diagnosed with a rare pediatric brain tumor called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) when she was 10 years old.  Over 90% of kids do not make it 2 years after diagnosis, and survival is even more rare.  Laurel has been fighting the disease for over 20 years and wants to use her story to spread awareness and help other families who are faced with a diagnosis of childhood cancer.  

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!
