My friend was involved in raising money for research into childhood cancer. They sold some of their artwork to the doctors and nurses, and they also sold ticket for a draw. Research is needed in all areas of life, not only Leukemia. There are thousands different diseases all over the world, and in order to find cures, research has to be done by doctors. Some diseases that were around when our parents were children are no longer a threat to children today.
Children can live happier and healthier lives than what our grandparents did.
We get needles at school to prevent measles and other diseases. Children 70 years ago died from measles and chicken pox. Now there is medicine to help us. Research has helped all children today, and will help all children in the future. It would be a wonderful world if research helped find a cure for all the sick people, especially the children.
