Yep, kids get cancer too. Its hard to fathom that anyone would not know that, but I have met so many people now that don't know it I am not surprised any more.
Things are changing though, people are learning. This year more people than ever are "going gold" for kids with cancer! Many buildings, bridges, and monuments are shining gold lights this year in honor of kids with cancer. Even in our little community I have had people contact me asking about fundraisers this year for childhood cancer.
Today our family will start our "million mile run/walk/ride" for Childhood cancer. We will be walking. Our goal this year is 25 miles each for the month. We have a website set up for that fundraiser, if you would like to sponsor us please check it out! You are also welcome to join our team and run/walk/ride with us! http://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/1118031
Join us. Spread the word. We will make a difference if we all do something, even if its only a little something.
Fact for the day: World wide, approximately 91,250 children die from cancer each year. That's 250 every day.
