Treatment may have ended for Katie, but the battle is far from over.

Please say a prayer for all the children who continue to fight childhood cancer day after day.
Pray for their strength, resilience and healing.

Raising Awareness about Childhood Cancer

We need your help raising awareness about Childhood Cancer.

I am writing to ask you to sign two petitions.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/gold-ribbon-for-childhood-cancer
(this one is to get the gold ribbon (for childhood cancer) on products to raise more awareness - like the breast cancer products)

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/CureChildhoodCancer
(this one is to raise awareness and get more funding)

Please take a couple of minutes out of your day and SIGN. Thanks SO much.

Did you know:
Over 12,400 children (in the United States) are diagnosed with cancer each year. That's a classroom full of children every single day, year after year.

Currently, one in every 330 children in the United States develops cancer before the age of nineteen. The incidence of cancer among children is increasing. Each school day, enough children are diagnosed with childhood cancer to empty two classrooms!

About 4,000 children die from cancer each year. That's 11 children every single day, every single year. Pretty scary, huh?

Please help raise awareness.
