I read a post recently through the Audrey's Umbrella message board that has stuck with me. It was written by a breast cancer survivor and mother of a child battling brain cancer. Here is the link to the post so you can read it yourself.
Caringbridge (look at journal entry for September 26, 2008)
I feel like this mother has made many valid points. September was Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. It was much less publicized than all the notices everywhere reminding women it is now Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Reading this made me wonder what I could do to raise awareness. I found a gold ribbon while reading a blog recently and asked permission to use it, so I'm adding it to my sidebar.
It is heartbreaking to read stories and hear about all of the families who have battled cancer with their children. More funding and research needs to be done. Surely someone could find an answer.
