September is Childhood Cancer month

9/4/2012

September is childhood cancer awareness month.  The gold ribbon.   I was unaware of the facts/statitistics,  because I could not know.  I never looked up any info online - ever.    Now I know and it is horrifying.   Sadly,  as rare as childhood cancer is,  30 + children are diagnosed each day, and every day 7 will go to heaven.   
I also found out that only about 4% of funds go toward pediatric cancer. ( Which is why we ask for donations to go to Dr.  Kieran's  because all of your donation goes toward helping the children.)
I share this because if we did not know all this, then I know many others don't know also.

You are so right to share this info... as hard as it is to tell and also hear. It is so easy to spend a couple of dollars for coffee ect... why not give even a few dollars ... if everyone did, it would all add up.

I have a gold ribbon tied to my purse for just that reason. We see pink every where we go but not often a gold ribbon. I think people just don't know. Sadly we know to many families touched by childhood cancer. I can't think of a better cause to give to and knowing we do it in Alec's name makes it all the more special.
