- Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children.
- 43 children are diagnosed each day with cancer. That’s 1 child every 30 minutes. WOCK finds this unacceptable!
- 1 out of 8 children will not survive… that’s approximately 1800 children each year.
- Nearly 60% of those who survive will have long-lasting chronic health conditions as adults.
- More children die from cancer than AIDS, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and asthma combined.
- Research in childhood cancer has led and continues to lead to successful treatments for adult cancers.
