Despite their efforts, they would not be able to cure him. On March 25, 2021, Ethan became an angel. My beautiful boy’s life was cut short because of this disease. Our family was devastated.It has now been over two years since Ethan’s passing. My wife, Ethan’s older brother and I are learning to live without him..” Our mission is to ensure that no child or family is left behind or forgotten throughout their journey with pediatric cancer.
Sadly, my son was not in that 80%. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among American children, claiming the lives of approximately 1,800 precious youngsters each year. Statistics from the American Cancer Society have shown that childhood cancer rates have increased by 24% in the last four decades, and yet, only a dozen drugs have been approved for pediatric use compared to hundreds for adults. We must do more. Children and their doctors should not have to rely on outdated treatments.How can you make a difference? Reach out to your elected representatives in Congress and advocate for increased funding for pediatric cancer research.
