A Day of Yellow and Gold to Support Childhood Cancer

I would like to share with you campaign that has begun on Facebook. As I’m sure you all know by now September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. A page has been started on Facebook entitled “A Day of Yellow and Gold to Support Childhood Cancer”. I have listed the information below. I ask that you please spread the word and consider showing your support for all Children who are fighting, have fought, or may fight this horrific disease in the future.

About

On September 28th please wear yellow or gold clothing to raise awareness for those children who are currently fighting cancer and for those children who battled so valiantly. They deserve all the attention we can possibly bring to finding a cure!

Description

I created this page, "A Day of Yellow and Gold to Fight Childhood Cancer" in order to bring attention to the need for much greater awareness and funding to eradicate all forms of childhood cancer. I don't want to bombard you with statistics but simply state that not enough is being done by our government, pharmaceutical companies, and institutions such as the American Cancer Society to put an end 

to the suffering of children who face the horror of cancer. If enough of us can do something as simple as wearing yellow and gold on the same day (September 28th) I believe that this could get the ball rolling towards creating enough media attention. This could put pressure on those institutions I mentioned above to do more to help our children. I dream of the day when Major League sports teams choose a day and wear yellow and gold to help raise awareness for childhood cancer as they do for breast cancer awareness by wearing pink. I dream of the day when the American Cancer Society gives a much more equitable amount of research funds to childhood cancer, as of now they only allocate one cent of every donated dollar to our children. I dream of the day when no other mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers have to feel the searing pain of losing a son, daughter, or sibling to the monster that is childhood cancer. Please share this page with your friends throughout the world; our little Heroes’ and Angels deserve all the attention we can possibly bring to fighting Childhood Cancer. There is strength in numbers and if the numbers are great enough they will not be ignored!
