Watching children suffer through toxic chemotherapy and radiation in order to have a fighting chance at growing up is not the path we should be on. Children deserve to THRIVE, not just SURVIVE. We have to find and fund a less toxic cure.
Only 3 new treatments have been developed specifically for pediatric cancers since 1980. If any child is running out of treatment options, we are not fulfilling our mission.
The outdated, toxic treatments are very devastating, causing severe physical and emotional side effects for children and their families.
Over 2/3 of childhood cancer survivors will suffer from chronic health problems for the rest of their lives, including the possibility of infertility, heart disease, chronic pain and more.
