Our Mission is to raise awareness, provide needed resources and help fund research in the HOPE that a cure is found.
The diagnosis of cancer in a child or teenager can be a devastating blow to their parents and other family members. Cancer creates a crisis no child or parent is prepared for, we strive to elevate some of that burden by providing emotional, financial and social support   to help maintain as much normalcy as possible during a very difficult time in the life of the family.

Kids with cancer need us!

WHAT IS CANCER?

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. The reason for many cancers, particularly those that occur during childhood, remains unknown.
​
The early diagnosis of childhood cancer is often hampered by nonspecific symptoms that are similar to those of more common childhood conditions. Childhood cancers are treated with surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy/targeted therapy based on the type and stage of cancer.
