Dear
Friend,
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) is a time to recognize, advocate for, and honor children that have been affected by cancer and the families that care for them. Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death and the most commonly diagnosed solid cancer in children and adolescents age 19 and younger. The brain tumor community has an enormous stake and voice in Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
This September, the National Brain Tumor Society will highlight the devastating realities of a brain tumor diagnosis for children and families by sharing important progress being made in the field, raising funds to support ongoing and future research efforts, and providing opportunities for our community to help create change to last a lifetime.
