September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Did you know that it is estimated that 400'000 children will develop cancer each year worldwide?
Did you know that almost 90% of all new childhood cancer cases occur in low and middle-income countries, with a particularly high rate in the countries of western Africa?
Did you know that in high-income countries (UK, USA, and much of Europe) more than 80% of children with cancer are cured but in low-income countries, childhood cancer survival is as low as 15%?
Did you know that nearly half (43%) of all children with cancer go undiagnosed and untreated?
Did you know that less than 2% of funds dedicated to cancer research are allocated to pediatric cancers?
In collaboration with Simply Zoë I am donating a percentage of all sales from the FEARLESS. range during the month of September to The CANSEARCH Foundation, which finances research projects as part of the Child and Adolescent Onco-Hematology Unit of the Pediatric Department of the Geneva University Hospital.
Check out our FEARLESS. and butterfly t-shirts and hoodies for kids and adults. Let’s make sure child cancer research is supported and help close the care gap!
