ABOUT CHILDHOOD CANCER:

Childhood cancer is an urgent health crisis, even for those who are surviving. As the leading cause of death by disease in children and adolescents in the United States (National Cancer Institute), 1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer will not survive 5 years from diagnosis. And of the 4 that do survive, 95% will suffer long-term, potentially life-threatening side-effects. G9 believes there is hope and that surviving must mean thriving.
