As Childhood Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a September filled with remembrance, connection, advocacy—and meaningful steps forward.
In August, Kham’s House proudly joined the North Texas Childhood Cancer Coalition (NTXCCC), expanding our connection to a community working to support children and families affected by childhood cancer. This month, we also showed up alongside fellow advocates at the DFW Hero Games, hosted by Heroes for Children, supporting Texas families impacted by childhood cancer.
And then there was Washington, D.C.
At CureFest for Childhood Cancer, September 18–20, the Tribute Wall honored thousands of childhood cancer fighters, survivors, and angels—including Khamron Dawson.
His photo was placed on the wall through a beautiful act of remembrance, then captured for us by Syr Sanders-Bailey, sister of Paula Sanders of the Jason Alex Davis II Foundation . We are deeply grateful that Kham was remembered and represented among so many lives that continue to matter. 💛🎗️🌻
There is also a powerful connection between this work and Kham’s House’s AYA mission:
Osteosarcoma is most common in adolescents and young adults. The National Cancer Institute estimates about 440 cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed each year in people age 19 and younger in the United States.
Khamron was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 18—an age that sits within the AYA community while also intersecting with pediatric/childhood cancer care and advocacy. His story reminds us that the lines between childhood, adolescent, and AYA cancer communities can intersect—and young people deserve support wherever those lines meet.
So we close this month not simply looking back, but moving forward:
🌻 Remembering those we've lost.�🎗️ Honoring those still fighting and those who survived.�💛 Supporting families.�💙 Building connections.�📣 Raising awareness.�🤝 Strengthening our partnerships.�✨ Continuing the work.
September may be ending, but the commitment continues.
For Kham. For the children. For the adolescents. For the young adults. For the families. For every community touched by childhood and AYA cancer.
We keep showing up. We keep moving forward. We stay .
