...that each school day, 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. That is 2 classrooms full of children.
Although long-term survival rates are steadily increasing, one quarter of children will die within 5 years of their cancer diagnosis.
Currently, one in every 330 children in the United States develops cancer before the age of nineteen.
By the year 2010, 1 in 250 young adults will be a childhood cancer survivor.
Most childhood cancer survivors live the remainder of their lives with secondary effects of cancer treatment.
100% of children experience stress and anxiety at the time of diagnosis.
With a donation of $25 Gabe's My Heart can provide a Chemo Duck to a child living with cancer.
With your donation of $25 the child will receive Chemo Duck along with a card explaining your kind donation.
