When
Every day, 47 children are diagnosed with cancer in the US. Every day, 47 families lives are turned upside down. April 4, 2021, we became one of those families when Paige was diagnosed with b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 18 months old.
We were thrown into the childhood cancer world without knowing much about it, but the statistics that we came to be very familiar with are alarming. Childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded with less than 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research dedicated to childhood cancers each year. Since 1953, there have only been a handful of new drugs FDA approved for pediatric cancer and almost all of those were originally intended for adults. Most of the drugs that are part of Paige's roadmap are older than her grandparents!
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 fund research into safer, more effective treatments and cures. Give today! Thank you!
