  • The Pharmaceutical Industry does not invest in childhood cancer research because the adult cancer market is larger and more profitable. In other words, childhood cancer research is “not a good investment.” Learn More
  • Federal research funding for ALL childhood cancers combined is $195 million. That’s only 4% of the $5.2 billion cancer research budget and a fraction of the funding for other single adult cancer subtypes.

My daughter battled stage 4 cancer at age 5. The treatment left her with life long heath issues that she lived with for another 17 years. At age 22 her lungs finally failed, she died! In the 22 years she was alive, there has not been major changes in treatment. The current treatment usually can rid cancer in exchange for other health issues that end up taking your life. We need to do better for our children. Looking forward to the real change RFK can provide!
