“Unfortunately, Federal funding for pediatric cancer research has long been in short supply. According to the National Cancer Institute, only 4% of all government-allocated cancer research funds go towards pediatric cancer research. This despite the fact that pediatric cancers are the leading cause of death by disease in the U.S. for children and young adults under the age of 20. Further reducing the pediatric cancer community’s already limited resources jeopardizes the future of clinical trials, new therapies, and equitable care for all children facing cancer.”

Our kids deserve better.
