Thanks to a generous group of donors who are matching every gift in September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, your donation of $25 becomes $50 and a $100 gift becomes $200!
Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of kids like Devan (pictured above and right).
Devan is one of more than 500,000 survivors of childhood cancer in the United States. Diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia when he was 20 months old, Devan underwent a grueling treatment regimen that included chemo and an unexpected brain surgery.
When he relapsed at age four and urgently needed a bone marrow transplant, there was no donor match. He received high-dose chemo and an experimental stem cell transplant instead.
Devan is acutely aware that his survival was possible only because he was treated at a top research hospital with access to groundbreaking care.
*In the past three three decades, my type of cancer has gone from a death sentence to a treatable disease,” he says. “I owe my life to modern medicine, and crucially, access to medicine.”
As we mark our 25th anniversary year, we celebrate kids like Devan, while also recognizing that there is still much work to be done. Too many children are still dying from cancer or from the long-term late effects of treatment, which can include second cancers and heart failure. Too many families are still struggling to access high-quality care, including financial and psychosocial support.
We are more committed than ever to advancing policies and programs that accelerate the development of safer, more effective cancer therapies for children and better address the unique needs and lifelong health challenges experienced by the nation’s 500,000 childhood cancer survivors and their families.
