Because every year in the U.S. there are an around 15,780 children between birth and 19 years old who are diagnosed with cancer. Approximately 1 in 285 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday. Around the world there are more than 300,000 children diagnosed with cancer each year.

Our daughter Millie was one of those statistics in 2019. We were that family that heard the devastating words, “I’m sorry it looks like she has cancer.” Those horrible words that would forever change our family. No longer would we live without the scars of cancer.

Millie fought Neuroblastoma from June 20, 2019, to July 8, 2020. On that day she became one of the approximately 1800 children who would lose their life to cancer that year. Cancer remains the most common cause of death by disease for children in America.

I share this to remind you that research is the key. Finding a treatment for cancer is important to the future of our children, however it is a huge task. The term cancer covers close to 200 different diseases. I have friends that have children who have fought:

• Wilms cancer,

• Acute Myeloid Leukemia

• Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

• Hodgkins Lymphoma

• Ewings Sarcoma

• Langerhans Cell Histocytosis

• Juvenile granulosa cell

• Neurofibromatosis 1

• Medulloblastoma

• Retinoblastoma

• Neuroblastoma

• DIPG

•

With each of these ‘cancers’ the treatment is completely different. What Millie received is nothing like the treatment our friend Leavyn goes through as she battles Leukemia. The testing that Mille had is not the same tests our friend Blaise had when he was diagnosed with Wilms.

With such individual diseases, it takes a lot of funding to research each one. Currently, only 4% of federal cancer research funding is dedicated to childhood cancer. Our children are worth #MoreThan4 percent of the funding. Millie was worth more than 4!
