46!

That’s the number of children who get diagnosed every school day with a childhood cancer. That’s 46 families whose lives are turned upside down emotionally, physically and financially. Families are being tested in ways they never dreamed of or ever imagined. That’s 46 children who will endure months, even years of endless treatment to try to save their young lives. Only in doing so, will leave very harsh, unimaginable, long lasting side effects socially, emotionally and physically.     

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month…the general public is not aware of this!

The Gold Ribbon is the symbol for Childhood Cancer…the general public is not aware of this either!

The fact that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and that the Gold Ribbon symbolizes Childhood Cancer goes largely unrecognized across our country. The sole purpose of this website is to change that unrecognized status. By utilizing the GOLD RIBBON and spreading the message across our country, we CAN and we WILL get the recognition our children deserve.                

What if it was your child, grandchild, niece, nephew or family friend who was unfortunately, one of the 46 diagnosed? Wouldn’t you want top research, proper funding and public awareness for your young loved one???  Of course you would want those things. However, there is NOT adequate funding for the children of this country who are battling Childhood Cancer. We as a country need to start putting our children FIRST…that is where you come in. You can help by supporting RALLY ‘ROUND THE GOLD RIBBON.  Support the Gold Ribbon not just in the month of September, but every day for every month of every year. Together we CAN and we WILL make a difference for our children!  There is not a national Childhood Cancer Awareness movement...until now!  Look out America...the GOLD RIBBON is coming your way soon.

Fly High, Sweet Corey!!
We love you!
