We believe Yogi Berra had #ChildhoodCancerAwareness in mind when he made this world famous quote, "It ain't over, 'til it's over." While September is coming to an end, our resolve to spread awareness everywhere around the world and to improve the outcomes of children fighting cancer only gets stronger...

Day 23🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth Childhood cancer affects the entire family. Kids fear losing their sibling. Watching their sibling suffer crushes their young hearts. They fade into the background as attention goes elsewhere. They need all the love we can give them.💛

Day 22🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth Once upon a time, a smart, articulate, outspoken 10 year old firecracker of a girl told Congress to “Stop talking and start doing.” Tragically, cancer took her a decade ago. But the huge impact of her brief life lives on. #GabriellaMiller

Cancer wasn’t in my body. But childhood cancer happed to me too. For siblings, cancer can mean plans changing, routines being interrupted, time spent apart, and moments of childhood that look different than they once did. #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #CancerSiblings #ChildhoodCancer

Day 16🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth This incredible quilt has names and images of children taken by childhood cancer. It has an indescribable presence. It takes your breath away. It’s merely cloth, but it’s as if you can hear their joy and laughter- before they went silent.

Every child needs a bear, and every bear needs a child... Most kids and maybe you too, have had a special cuddly teddy to cling to when you were sick or feeling blue it's always been a symbol of love and caring. When cancer steals a child, a lot of people think it's a rare occurrence, but it is NOT! Cancer is a thief and it steals more children in the US than all other diseases combined. How do we fight back? We get our family, friends and neighbors to help us contact our legislators to improve research funding specifically for childhood cancer. Here's how you can contact your Representative and Senators: 4sqclobberscancer.com/on-cap…

This is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. CureFest is this weekend in Washington DC. Ironically, this same graphic and message was posted 10 years ago on an advocacy facebook site. Today it appears we need as much awareness now as we did then! This year, considering the present emphasis given on research and maintaining a sense of urgency for effective drug development, and the current situation amid changes in granting requirements, leaves much to be desired. "Be the ribbon! Spread Awareness. Speak for every child. Demand more from our government. 4sqclobberscancer.com/on-cap…

WHY DOES THE GOLDEN RIBBON MATTER? 💛 Because behind every golden ribbon is a child, a family, a story, and a community that can choose to show up. This September, wear gold for the warriors, survivors, families, and angels. #GoGold #GoldRibbon #PediatricCancer #LadybugHouse

Day 15🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth Federal funding for childhood cancer research is heartbreakingly teeny. Childhood cancer foundations- often run by bereaved parents- do their best to fill the enormous gap. Selling lemonade Head shaving Bake sales Kids need our help💛

This article, published by Inside Precision Medicine, discusses the limited use of platinum-based chemotherapy. It is important to be reminded that the researchers (Science Vol. 393, No. 6816) referenced in the article stress that these "findings should NOT discourage the use of chemotherapy, which remains ESSENTIAL for treating #ChildhoodCancer. Instead, understanding how treatment affects healthy tissues could eventually help scientists develop ways to reduce health risks later in life." If you have questions, consult with your doctor to discuss possible side effects and the precautions that are taken during treatment to minimize any possible effects. insideprecisionmedicine.com/…

Day 10🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth 1 out of 5 children diagnosed with childhood cancer will not survive.💔 With tremendous respect and admiration, I’ve watched bereaved parents tear down walls, climb mountains, and row upriver to fund research for cures to save others.

Day 9🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth One of the most remarkable things about a child in the midst of cancer treatment is their incredible positive attitude. Instead of crying, “Why me?” and pouting, they take all the poking, prodding, pain, and pain while thinking of others.💛
