🎗September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month for a reason.
🎗Gold buses, gold #2 pencils, and a new year with endless possibilities ahead. The first day of school is a milestone for many children. For families facing childhood cancer or for those who have lost a child to cancer, it can also be a time of worry, anxiety, and great sadness. Time is moving forward and our children are not.
🎗Some children will not be packing backpacks, boarding a bus, or starting school. Instead, they are in a hospital receiving chemo, having a procedure, or just feel too sick or worried to make it through the school day. This is their reality.
🎗Grieving parents are seeing their children’s friends grow into another year of learning and discovery. During this back-to-school season our hearts are with the families who are feeling this isolating pain.
🎗We want to share with those outside of our community that September isn't just another month and another cause; it is an awareness opportunity that cancer disrupts or steals a childhood.
