Statistics
Cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental deaths in children.
About 10,380 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2016.
All types of childhood cancers combined receive only 4% of the U.S. federal funding for cancer research.

While some diagnoses have good cure
rates, others have significantly less positive
outcomes. Our goal is to find a cure for
every child.
