When I was 11, one of my very good friends, Meagan Bonner, passed away from childhood cancer. My daughter is named after her and was also born on the anniversary of Meagan’s “Went-to-Heaven Day.” 

It’s easy to scroll past posts about children that have cancer. It’s too hard to look at. But we have to bring awareness to this disease. Only 4% of federal cancer research funding goes to study pediatric cancer. Out of 34 FDA approved cancer treatments, only two of these drugs have been approved to specifically treat children with cancer. 

Children are dying from treatment and yet only 4% of the national budget for cancer research is for pediatric cancer! This is why donations are so important! 

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. My family and friends are holding a lemonade stand at Daniel’s Drive Inn on Saturday, September 25th from 11:00 AM EST - 2:00 PM EST. Please come out to join others in enjoying some lemonade and donating to help fund pediatric cancer research!
