CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Our challenge is simply that childhood cancer is so underfunded. Children get different types of cancers than adults, so they need different research and treatments. Of the National Institute of Health funding for cancer research, childhood cancers get only 4%. The challenge is to make up the difference so that cutting edge research can continue to help save the lives of children with cancer. |
