Children’s Cancer Facts
Cancer is the #1 cause of death from disease in children.
Every day, 35 children or nearly 2 classrooms are diagnosed with cancer, 7 of these children will not survive.
3 out of 5 children who survive cancer suffer devastating long-term side effects.
Making Progress through Research
During the past 20 years, research has increased the cure rate for children’s cancer by 30%.
Today, nearly 80% of children diagnosed with cancer are cured.
Our goal is a 100% cure rate.
Together, we can Reach the Day when every child with cancer is guaranteed a cure.
