September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

 

 

Childhood cancer is not going

away anytime soon.

We need better treatment options for the nearly 13,000 children diagnosed with cancer in the United States every year.

Childhood cancer can

affect children for a lifetime.

Although this video is a few years old,

it graphically illustrates

the reality of current treatment.

Not much has changed since it was created.

 

 

 

Join together with the

Inland Northwest Community

to support kids with cancer.

 

Whatever your needs:

a good meal, coffee, wine, massage, car repairs, a haircut, a check-up, a way to honor kids with cancer, or a walk 

- you can support kids with cancer!

Signs of Childhood Cancer

 Many times childhood cancer isn't diagnosed until late stages because it can mimic other ordinary childhood illnesses.

 

And although, more than likely, a child's illness will not be cancer, it is wise to be aware of the symptoms.

This is a long over-due honor for those who choose to care for the youngest of cancer patients and their families. It is not an easy task.
