Almost 50 children are diagnosed with cancer EVERY day in the U.S., with survival rates differing for different types of childhood cancers – but overall, childhood cancer remains the most common cause of death by disease among children in the U.S.Even though the most common types of childhood cancers are leukemias and brain/central nervous system cancers, there are more then 12 major types of childhood cancers and over 100 subtypes. Sadly, current statistics show that 1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will not survive.One of the major goals of childhood cancer research is to deal with side-effects of cancer treatment which can range widely from minor to severe, and they are dependent on a child's specific treatments. Because kids are still growing and developing during cancer treatment, and these treatments are so harsh, many survivors face late-effects years or even decades after treatment is over. Better treatment, better protocols, and better options are needed today.Majority of the funding that we use to support pediatrics and pediatric cancer research comes from our Annual 605 Pop Culture Con. In our first two years, we have generated $100,000 to support families, children, and valuable research to help #GiveKidsAVoice.
