THE REASON: Every day, 35 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer - 7 of those children will not survive.
Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children. Although the cure rate is now 78 percent - up by 30 percent in the last 20 years - it
is not good enough. Our goal is a 100 percent cure rate.
