Who do you know with CHILDHOOD CANCER?

Who do you know that died of CHILDHOOD CANCER?

Want me to continue? These are just a few of the kids that I know about that died only THIS MONTH!! This doesn't even count the many many others who have already earned their angel wings, or the many many others who have just learned their cancer is back, and they have to start their fight AGAIN. What amazes me is that each day I see sites of new kids that I did not know of before that have cancer. When I go to a site, and they mention another child in need of prayers for their struggle with cancer, it's continually heartbreaking.

Let's do something about it together. 

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

 Here is an idea for the day- watch the video below, mark the date on your calendar.

Stand Up 2 Cancer...this Friday, September 5th at 8pm EST
