September isn’t over....yet! One more day to make a difference with The Million Mile. To make every mile and dollar count for childhood cancer research, please consider making a donation in Lisa's honor.

In honor of Lisa, I’m taking steps to fight childhood cancer — one mile at a time — by joining others in The Million Mile challenge. This initiative takes place throughout September and brings together people of all ages to walk, run, or cycle toward a collective goal of one million miles whil...

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is in September and Breast Cancer Awareness Month happens in October, we should recognize that both cancers are linked and that by improving the standard treatment of one, we could be improving on the other. One way to improve on the incidence of breast cancer would be to discover better, curative therapies other than chemotherapy and radiation to treat childhood cancers. Female childhood cancer survivors who were treated with chemotherapy— even if they did not receive radiation treatments to their chest — are six times more likely than the general population to be diagnosed with breast cancer later in life. For those who did receive chest radiation, that chance increases exponentially and is on par with those who have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.

While most people are "aware" of childhood cancer, many are unaware of the critical issues that surround it. Research funding for childhood cancer is inadequate, and the long-term effects of chemotherapy on young, developing bodies can be devastating. The financial strain placed on families can be overwhelming. Throughout the journey from diagnosis to treatment, and even into survivorship or bereavement, children and their families face immense physical and daily emotional challenges. This burden extends to siblings and can strain school and social relationships, all while the persistent fear of cancer recurrence looms in the background.

Raising awareness is not just about acknowledging the existence of childhood cancer; it is about fostering new hope. We must advocate for early detection, pursue better treatments and outcomes, be educated to make informed choices, eliminate barriers to care, enhance research funding, and cultivate supportive communities like Momcology.

Until we achieve all of the pieces above (and so much more), our hearts can't heal without greater awareness for childhood cancer.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and in honor of Lisa and other kids fighting cancer, I’ll be participating in The Million Mile to raise awareness and research funding.🎗️

🎗️ Childhood cancer remains drastically underfunded — receiving less than 4% of federal cancer research funding so I’ll be putting on my shoes and logging miles to help change that. 🎗️
