Did you know?
Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children.
In the U.S. 47 children each day or almost 2 children every hour are diagnosed with cancer.
One in five children diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will not survive.
Only 4% of the annual cancer funding from the federal government is directed towards treating childhood cancer.
One in 285 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday.
Only 6 new drugs have been approved solely for childhood cancers in the past three decades.
There are more than 12 major types of pediatric cancers and over 100 subtypes.
More than 95% of pediatric cancer survivors, by the age of 45, experience significant health issues because of current treatment options.
400,000 children annually, more than 1,000 children per day, are diagnosed with cancer worldwide.
Worldwide, 100,000 children lose their lives every year to cancer.
