Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

More than 9000 kids in the United States under 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2023.

Approximately 80% of kids with cancer will be cured when living in a high-income country. Unfortunately, that number drops to 30% for those in a low or middle-income country.

Each week this month, I will post and educate on some of the cancers that affect children.

Take the time this month to help raise awareness. Consider donating to a charity such as Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Ronald McDonald House, or the National Children’s Cancer Society.
