Get Involved

Here are some ways you can participate

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, but you can advocate for change at any time:

• Sign a childhood cancer petition endorsed by CureSearch, the Lance Armstrong Foundation and others.
  
  
• Send your legislators a letter to thank them for supporting the Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act. While you're at it, ask for their vote in supporting budget increases for the National Institutes of Health and childhood cancer research. Learn more.
  
  
• Find out more about a new group that's working to raise awareness of childhood cancer. "People Against Childhood Cancer" includes representatives from CureSearch, Team Unite, medical professionals, Stand Up 2 Cancer and, importantly, families who want to make a difference.
  
  
• Take a couple minutes to check out this compelling video about childhood cancer and the opportunities you have to help find a solution.
