Celebrating Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: How You Can Make a Difference

September marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM), a time dedicated to raising awareness about childhood cancer, celebrating the advances in treatment and survivorship care, and honoring the brave children and families who have been affected by this disease. While significant progress has been made, there is still much work to be done to ensure that every child with cancer has the opportunity to live a long and healthy life.

This month, we’re inviting you to join us in our mission to support these incredible kids and their families. Whether it’s through participating in our Virtual Wellness Week, donating to our cause, or simply spreading the word, your involvement can make a real difference.

 

Understanding Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a globally recognized observance that takes place every September. This month is dedicated to highlighting the unique challenges faced by children with cancer and their families, as well as the ongoing efforts to improve treatment, survivorship care, and overall quality of life for these young warriors.

Over the years, the medical community has made significant strides in the fight against childhood cancer. Thanks to advancements in research and treatment, survival rates have improved dramatically for many types of childhood cancers. However, the journey is far from over. Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children in the United States, and more research is needed to develop safer and more effective treatments.

Advocacy and community support play a crucial role in this fight. By increasing awareness and raising funds, we can help accelerate research, support affected families, and bring us closer to a future where every child with cancer can thrive.

 

Join Us for Virtual Wellness Week (Sept 23-29)

As part of our commitment to supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer, we’re excited to announce our Virtual Wellness Week from September 23-29. This week-long event will feature a series of live, donation-based classes focused on promoting overall wellness, with topics ranging from mental health and nutrition to meditation and mindfulness.

Wellness is a vital component of survivorship care, not just for the children but for their families as well. The emotional, physical, and psychological toll of childhood cancer is immense, and these classes are designed to provide valuable tools and resources for coping and healing. Whether you’re directly affected by childhood cancer or simply want to support the cause, we encourage you to join us for these sessions.
