Childhood Cancer: April 2024 Charity of the Month

April is a month of renewal—a time when the world blossoms with hope and promise. However, for thousands of children facing the battle of their lives against cancer, hope and promise are hard to find. That’s why this April, CharityRx partners with Light for Childhood Cancer as our Charity of the Month, shining a beacon of aid in support of children and families dealing with this devastating illness. With recent statistics underscoring the pressing need for assistance, together, we can make a significant impact.

Staggering Childhood Cancer Statistics

After accidents, cancer is the second leading cause of death by disease past infancy for U.S. children, and approximately 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 20 according to recent childhood cancer statistics.[1] The cancer death rate has declined by more than half from 1970 to 2021 in both children and adolescents, largely due to improvements in treatment and high participation in clinical trials.

How CharityRx is Turning Statistics into Stories of Hope
