According to The National Children's Cancer Society, childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States. Each year in the U.S., an estimated 15,780 children aged 0-19 are diagnosed with cancer - that's a staggering 43 kids (families) per day being told they have cancer, yet less than 4% of the federal government's budget for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers.
