Day 4: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month:
I don’t like the number 4!!
The dreaded four words that changed our lives forever, “YOUR CHILD HAS CANCER “, and the sad fact that less than 4% of the federal budget is allocated to pediatric cancer research & 4% of all children with cancer have Ewing’s sarcoma bone cancer, the type that killed my precious daughter Arielle!!
Our children are worth an infinite amount more than 4% of any budget and deserve the best chance for being treated with therapies that are age appropriate and safe, not adult-toxic poisons that leave long-term side effects, if they are fortunate to survive!!
In recent years, news reports stated that the number one killer of children is from guns and cancer has become secondary. Children shouldn’t be dying from any violence or disease, and as parents and adults, we must fight for our children on both fronts!!
I can only hope and pray that no other family will hear those four words that destroyed my family!!
My contribution on the war against childhood cancer is keeping my promise to Arielle by keeping her foundation active and assisting needy children with cancer as well as promoting awareness that childhood cancer is not rare and sharing hopeful information on cures and new treatments.
Donating to Arielle Anacker Cancer Foundation, Inc. will allow us the opportunity to positively impact those less fortunate who are struggling not only financially, but emotionally as well!!
Together we can make a difference!!
