12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year in the U.S.
One Month: September 2009 Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
One Goal: Unite 12,500 people for an online walk to help conquer kids’ cancer
One Person: YOU—can make a difference!
A staggering fact—each year, 12,500 children and their families hear the frightening words “Your child has cancer.” This could be a child in your neighborhood, in your child’s school or on their softball team…maybe even in your own family.
In honor of September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, CureSearch challenges you to participate in our Walk for 12,500 to Conquer Kids Cancer. Give today and urge those around you to do the same. Let every child who will be diagnosed this year receive a helping hand through a tax-deductible contribution to CureSearch.
CureSearch exclusively supports the work of the Children’s Oncology Group, the world’s premier pediatric cancer research collaborative. This group treats more than 90% of children with cancer in the U.S. and is responsible for every major breakthrough in childhood cancer research, moving the cure rate to 78% overall today.
However, even one child lost to cancer is one child too many. With your participation in the Walk for 12,500 to Conquer Kids Cancer, we can reach the day when every child diagnosed is guaranteed a cure.
Make a difference. Sign up and walk virtually for a child today. Ask your family, friends, co-workers, social clubs and networks, local businesses and houses of worship to support your team to conquer childhood cancer.
