Your money goes towards helping the clinical research work of highly valued research institutions. It is also used to support families impacted by a cancer diagnosis. There is a surprising lack of funding for childhood cancers like rhabdomyosarcoma which has meant the opportunity to research the mechanics of the cancer and developing less harsh treatment options is not nearly as advanced as some adult cancers. This means that the survival rate remains largely unchanged over the last 30 years and we need this to change. These children deserve a better chance to live a long and fulfilled life.
