Why This Cause Matters

  • Childhood cancer remains the #1 cause of death by disease among children.
  • 43 children every day are expected to be diagnosed with cancer.
  • Only 4% of cancer research funding is allocated to pediatric cancers.
  • 95% of childhood cancer survivors face severe health issues later in life due to treatments designed for adults.

The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation is committed to changing these statistics through innovative clinical trials and a collaborative research model that puts kids first.
