Did you know that in the US, 46 children are diagnosed with cancer every day? Did you know that 7 of them will die today? Childhood cancers are the #1 disease killer of children, yet pediatric cancer only receives 3.8% of all funding. In 2012, the NYG run of champions generated over 3000 runners. Let's make a 2013 race; an unprecedented event for the funding of pediatric cancer. Seven is 7 too many. Join me in this fight! 

On the way for Radiation Treatment one night, Jake said, "I wish I could be re-borneded as a baby who doesn't get sick." (taken from a fundraising site for Jacob Grecco) -THIS should not be!! FIGHT HARDER

"Keep faith stronger than fear; faith will be rewarded" - Cynthia Mack, mother of Michael Mack

This petition has been signed in loving memory of...

My son fought this battle. We need way more research money going to kids cancer. It is not fair that 3.8% is all they get.
