--Cancer is the #1 disease killer of children in the United States

--46 children are diagnosed with cancer each day in the U.S.

--Treatments for childhood cancer are very aggressive and can last for extended periods of time.  A boy with average risk acute leukemia spends nearly 3 1/2 years on chemotherapy to cure his disease.

--Children and teens treated for cancer can be faced with a lifetime of complications because of the harsh treatments needed to cure them. They must be carefully followed for decades to assess the impact on their bodies of high-doses of drugs and radiation.

--Over 20% of children diagnosed with cancer will not survive their disease.

--Families who have a child with cancer face extended loss of income because a parent must provide care for the child, at the same time as their expenses soar.

--The gold ribbon is the symbol of childhood cancer awareness.
