Each day, approximately 47 children will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States. That means nearly twice an hour, another mom or dad will receive the news that no parent ever wants to hear – your child has cancer. This might be your neighbor, your brother or sister, your family friend, or your cashier at the local grocery store. Regardless of when, where, or how it happens, a childhood cancer diagnosis turns a family’s entire world upside down – and things get messy. Cancer gets messy.

It becomes a kitchen countertop filled with a myriad of prescription drugs, a sibling left forgotten and waiting in the carpool lane for a parent who forgot the pick-up time, a meltdown from a parent in the hospital cafeteria because last night’s takeout exploded in the microwave. Cancer is messy. It’s really, really messy.

Despite the uncertainty that accompanies a childhood cancer journey, some things will never change. The mortgage still needs to be paid, food still needs to be stocked, and gas still needs to be put in the tank. In fact, a childhood cancer diagnosis makes these everyday necessities even more critical. You can change that. By fundraising for Pinky Swear Foundation, you provide housing, food, and transportation support for families.
