September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month...

Just think about this when you hug your children or family members tonight because alot of parents and family members can't.







**There are about 10,000 children living with cancer in Canada today.


**Each year, about 1500 cases are diagnosed


**Because of significant advances in therapy, 78% of these children will survive 5 years or more, an increase of almost 46% since the early 1960s.




**More than 70 percent of children diagnosed with cancer become long-term survivors and the majority of them are considered cured. However, long-term effects of surviving the treatments for childhood cancer can affect these children's futures.




**In Canada, childhood cancer remains responsible for more deaths from one year through adolescence than any other disease; more deaths than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and AIDS combined.




**About one in four children who are diagnosed with cancer will die of the disease**






We need to find a CURE for Cancer...These children fight a fight no child should endure. Please donate money or sometime looking at these children and learning about their stories. They need US.










Thank you everyone for reading this...

Praying for a CURE for Cancer,
