Childhood cancer awareness month

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. The GOLD ribbon is the symbol for childhood cancer. Did you know that over 12,000 children are diagnosed each year. 4,500 die each year from cancer and over 40,000 each year are in treatment. Did you know that brian tumors are the number one cause of death from solid mass tumors in children, more then asthma, cystic fibrosis, and Aids combined. Here are some things you can do to help spread the word. Visit www.teamunite.net to find out many ways you can help in spreading the word. Maybe even purchase some Gold Gear in support of all the children past, present and future that are or have been and unfortunately will be fighting this monster called cancer. To learn more about Brian Tumors please visit www.icouldbeyourchild.org see the face and read the stories of the devastation these families go through in caring for a child with cancer. Also September 13th, Aimee's Army www.aimeesarmy.com will be hosting the annual Aimee Dickey walk for childhood cancer at Nay Aug Park, Scranton, PA 11-5. There will be many families to share their stories, several state and federal representives, music and so much more. PLEASE, I ask you all to help us parents save our future, remember it could be your child, grandchild, or even a close family friends child. HELP stop it now before that happens. Thank you and God Bless,Annette (angel aimee's mom) forever 12
