I am involved with kids with several types of cancer through Caringbridge pages and am a members of C.O.L.E PRAYER TEAM. I mail the kids stickers, presents, books etc and it would be my priviledge and theirs if I could use the Childhood Cancer postal stamps on these mailings. I have approximately 40 kids I check on everyday and mail items to every couple months.
To help the children and their families. We need to try to do more research and put an end to the suffering for these children that are getting cancer at such a young age.
CureSearch is a great organization that is dedicated to all childhood cancer research
WHY IS SIGNING THIS PETITION IMPORTANT TO YOU? WHERE DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT MONEY RAISED FROM THE STAMP BE DIRECTED?
I recommend that the funds help support CureSearch, The National Childhood Cancer Foundation.
No one should have to be diagnosed with cancer, especially children. A cure is important!
need fda approvals, research and pharmaceitical co. freedom to act for cures..........
This stamp is important to me because it raises awareness of childhood cancer. People may talk about this monster of diseases. It may start good conversations about how to help a child and family stricken by any one of a myriad of illnesses and problems. Thanks for listening. jl.
I hope this petition will lead to more investment in finding a cure for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontime Glioma (DIPG). We hope our granddaughter will be the recepient of such cure and live to see her own grandchildren.
This petition is important to me because there needs to be more research into developing new treatments to help Alexis and other children battling childhood cancer. I would like the money donated to go for funding research for DIPG because the prognosis is so poor for children with this type of cancer and an understanding of DIPG may lead to cure of all childhood cancers.
This petition is crucial to help raise awareness about children's cancer. Money raised should go to pediatric cancer research, which is SEVERELY underfunded. Only a minisculefraction of the money spent on adult cancers, including prostate and breast cancer, are dedicated to pediatric cancer. Help fight for our children!
This petition is important to me because my son fought for his life and he never once complained. He spent his remaining time here on earth raising money to help find a cure for brain cancer so that children could live to celebrate another birthday. There is so much awareness for breast cancer but there is not enough awareness for Pediatric Cancer and we as parents to these brave children must come together and be their voice! Be their advocates to make everyone aware that kids are fighting for their lives and we must do all we can to help their voices be heard!
I am tired of hearing about children dying from something so monstrous that kids shouldnt have to even think about much less live with. I want this money to go purely to research because only with that can we have a cure.
There should be a stamp in recognition of childhood cancer already in the making. There needs to be more awareness raised for such a horrible and senseless disease.
Because no child or family should ever have to bear this dreadful and heart wrenching disease. A child should always have their childhood; no strings attached.
Far too many children get cancer. We need to do more research.
Cancer is a dirge on our families and takes our children from us leaving a wound that never heals. Any money should go to cancer research to keep other families from experiencing the worst of the worst.
I would buy the childhood cancer awareness stamp before I would buy any other stamps to show everyone I support my daughter and her fight against childhood cancer and her bravery to raise money through fundraisers to support reasearch for a cure!
we must do more reasearch on childhood cancer no parents should hear the words there is nothing else we can do there has not been the reasearch so your child is going to die
Funding for research is extremely important "to ensure the safety & well-being of the FUTURE of children diagnosed with cancer"! The stamp should be similar to the "Breast Cancer Stamp" which has raised millions of dollars for breast cancer research!
Please, please sign this petition....not only do they need to find a cure for childhood cancers but they really need to find better treatments. The chemos and all the other drugs they give to these kids are so toxic and it is so scary to have this stuff being pumped into your childs body!
I propse that the money is sent to specific research facilities/hospitals (i.e. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia). ...plases we KNOW will use the money for research. If it is sent to a general organization such as the American Cancer Society, they can not guarentee that the money will be used specifically for CHILDHOOD cancer research. Thank you.
Understanding the way cancer works would also provide answers to many other medical questions. All of the research is related. I would like the funds to provide access to all the knowledge we have gained, are gaining and will gain so that lack of knowledge does not contribute to another life lost to this disease.
