As years go by, the US consistently proves itself in inventive initiatives that always seems to lead to rest of the world. However, when it comes to curing childhood cancer, only 4% of governmental funding goes to our country's smallest and most vulnerable people. Our children. Being one of the richest countries in the world, one would think more money could be used towards childhood cancer research. For adults, hundreds of new medications have been tested and used to help cancer in adults. However, since the 1980's only a handful of new drugs have been developed to help heal cancer in children. Please consider donating money to organizations that pursue research in childhood cancers. You never think it will affect you, until it does.
