Day 7🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth Sharing #ChildhoodCancer statistics helps open eyes. Sharing family experiences with cancer can help open hearts. This little boy had to say goodbye to his brother. No facts, statistics, or charts can illustrate the pain in his heart.🧡

Day 8🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth "Lying there, I wondered if other people besides Nurse Cyndi and Mom knew of my suffering. While I sobbed, groaned, and experienced complete helplessness, people were sitting on their couches watching Jay Leno with a tub of Haagen-Dazs."🎗️

Day 9🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth There are no words or actions sufficient to thank those who treat #ChildhoodCancer . Roughly 1 in 530 adults between 20 - 39 is a survivor. (CAC2 Fact Library) This giant Thank You card is for everyone who is creating survivors!🧡

Day 10🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth "The fun and joy were there and gone. They popped in and out like a bunny out of a magician's hat. Rough moments, minutes, hours, and days still occurred, and I took them on with a slow and steady strength." #Survivor #ChildhoodCancer

Rare or Not Rare? We don't think 100,000 kids dying yearly worldwide from camcer should be considered "Rare." We need to consider it a PRIORITY and fund the research as if it were a REAL priority. CAC2 Happy Quail Lisa (Loehr)Spaulding Susannah Koontz, PharmD, BCOP 🎗 #StopTalkingTakeAction

Day 12🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth There are parents who've seen their child suffer with cancer and then turn that sorrow into life-saving works for all children. These heroes get 0 recognition. But, recognition doesn't matter. Their child's life matters. #ChildhoodCancer

I know my daughter's life was saved because bereaved parents moved heaven and earth to raise money to fund #childhoodcancer research. It's a debt I can never repay.

INVEST IN RESEARCH that will reduce our dependency on chemotherapy to treat #ChildhoodCancer. Survivorship is increasing but so are those who have late effects from treatments. Today the lifespan of survivors is 57years while unaffected adults is 78 CAC2 Happy Quail

Day 13🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth "The chemotherapy, my lifesaver, was just as scary as my disease. I had a choice, but I didn't have a choice. I could slowly suffocate to death, or take on the possible deadly effects of chemo." #ChildhoodCancer 🎗️ #Survivor 🧡

Day 14🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth "I sat in the bathtub slumped over, the hot water gushing out, making my head pound. The chills commanded my entire body, making me travel from Antarctica to the Mojave Desert in a matter of seconds." #ChildhoodCancer🎗️ #Survivor 🧡
