Cancer is primarily a disease of adults.
But some 7,000 children are diagnosed with cancer annually. West Virginia University cancer programs help hundreds of West Virginia children each year. Because more than half of all childhood cancers are curable today, our goal is not only to cure patients but to see that they grow up mentally and socially well-adjusted. To raise money for comprehensive children's cancer therapies, we are offering Holiday cards designed by young cancer patients and their families. Proceeds from card sales go to the Children's Cancer Care and Research Fund, a joint project of the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center and WVU Children's Hospitals.
