Childhood Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in
children under the age of 15 in the U.S. and kills more children than
AIDs, asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and congenital anomalies
altogether combined.

Every year an estimated 250,000+ new cases of cancer affect
children under the age of 20 worldwide and every day, approximately 250
kids die from cancer, and 91,250 kids lose their life to cancer.

Only 4% of federal government cancer research funding goes to
study pediatric cancer. The taxpayer-funded National Cancer Institute
(NCI) dedicates approximately 4% of its annual budget to childhood
cancer.
