The resolution expresses the sense of the U.S. House of Representatives that Congress should support public and private efforts to promote childhood cancer awareness, support public and private investment in childhood cancer research and support policies that will result in better treatments for childhood cancer.
Cancer knows no age limits and is stealing the lives of our children.
Our best hope lies in increased research. We must increase our investment in this area. According to Pryce, cancer strikes 46 kids, or two classrooms of children, each school day. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under age 15. Support increased public and private investment in childhood cancer research to improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term survival.
