After a 8 month battle with cancer, AJ, at the age of 14 died Jan. 5, 2008. His family started a group called People Against Childhood Cancer and are asking you to sign this petition to help raise awareness and find a cure.

RAISE AWARENESS & FUNDING FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER CHILDHOOD CANCER FACTS

-Childhood cancer is the #1 killer disease of our children, more than from asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and pediatric AIDS combined

- 1 in 300 children will be diagnosed with cancer before age 20

- Each year 3,000 children die, and 35-40,000 are in treatment

- Only 3% of all cancer research money goes to childhood cancer. A bill in Congress will provide $30 million per year to fund research for childhood cancer. For comparison, that amount currently funds 2 hours of the war overseas. So our war against childhood cancer is vastly under-publicized and under-funded.

You can make a difference. You can help. Please sign.
