LET’S END THIS FOR GOOD!
This September, we continue our tradition of bringing attention to Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Childhood cancers affect thousands of families every year, and we believe that finding a cure is essential.
Our commitment to supporting the fight against childhood cancer is deeply personal. Our nephew Jonathon was diagnosed with Unresectable Anaplastic Astrocytoma, a brain tumor, when he was just 10 years old. Until that life-changing day, childhood cancer was something we had only heard about from others.
We’ve been incredibly blessed by the care and support Jonathon has received. Today, Jonathon is a survivor, and we are profoundly grateful. But we know that many other children are still enduring this battle, and our hearts go out to them and their families.
WHAT WE’VE LEARNED
One of the most shocking things we’ve learned on this journey is how underfunded childhood cancer research is. While significant amounts are raised for cancer research each year, only a small portion goes toward pediatric cancer. This needs to change.
33,000 CHILDREN EVERY MONTH
Around the world, every two minutes, another child is diagnosed with cancer. That’s 33,000 children every month facing this terrible disease.
WHAT IS CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH?
In September, families, caregivers, charities, and organizations across the U.S. observe Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In the U.S. alone, about 15,780 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer each year, and tragically, about 1 in 4 will not survive.
ATTIC AIR CARES
This cause will always be close to our hearts. We’ve made it our mission to share what we’ve learned and to encourage others to join us in supporting childhood cancer research.
SUPPORTING ST. JUDE
We proudly support the lifesaving work at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which continues to help children and their families through the toughest times.
