Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Post

Our goal is to find a cure for children’s cancer, especially the more than 50 types of sarcoma that affect around 900 children each year. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the connective tissue of the body, such as muscle, fat, and fibrous tissue. The most common sarcomas found in children are: 🎗Rhabdomyosarcoma – a tumor in which malignant cancer cells look like young, immature muscle cells (the most common soft tissue sarcoma found in children) 🎗Osteosarcoma – a type of bone cancer that starts in immature bone cells that normally form new bone tissue, then it destroys local tissue and weakens the bone (affects about 400 children and adolescents under the age of 20 each year) 🎗Ewing sarcoma – the second most common bone cancer in children (most often occurs in adolescents, with nearly half of cases arising between the ages of 10 and 20) Join us in our mission to accelerate research to put an end to sarcoma so that every child can enjoy a long, healthy life.

We're halfway through 2024, which sadly means approximately 150,000 more men have been diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. You can make a difference for these patients by giving to our limited-time matching gift fund! The Schwartz Family has stepped forward to match every donation – dollar for dollar – made to ZERO Prostate Cancer, up to $10,000. But you must act fast – this matching gift expires at midnight tomorrow. Our goal is to secure funding that will allow all patients to access help as they face their diagnoses. Give at zerocancer.org/give-now. #ZEROProstateCancer

💜 At Children with Cancer UK, we couldn’t be doing what we’re doing, investing in research and supporting families, without our amazing fundraisers, large and small. 🧡 Seb was inspired by his sister, Libby, to get involved and help fundraise to support children facing their own cancer journey, like his sister Libby. 🏃 Have you been inspired by Seb? 👉 Find out via the link, how you can get involved and support Children with Cancer UK to help fund research into childhood cancers and support children with cancer and their families. https://bit.ly/3Px0OL0.

We're doing the Pink Ribbon Walk for the nine women diagnosed with breast cancer each day in New Zealand. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Kiwi women. 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime. And 650 women in Aotearoa die from the disease every year. That’s why we're taking part in the Pink Ribbon Walk this year, to help change that. Please donate to raise funds for life-saving education, life-changing patient support and ground-breaking medical research. And bring us closer to a day when there are zero deaths from breast cancer. #stgeorgescancercarecentre #pinkribbonwalk #breastcancer https://lnkd.in/ggruBgwM

It’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In the UK, the latest studies by Cancer Research UK (CRUK) show that 84% of children diagnosed with cancer in childhood survive for five years or more. Survival for children's cancers has more than doubled since the 1970s in the UK and this is down to the amazing research that has been done. We would like to thank all the researchers working hard to find a cure and for making treatment more effective and kinder for children. As well as all the amazing charities that help children and their families through this difficult time including; Macmillan Cancer Support, BBC Children in Need, Teenage Cancer Trust, Children with Cancer UK, Kids Cancer Charity and many more. #childhoodcancerawarenessmonth #childhoodcancer #cancer #raiseawareness
