Leah's Legacy Find a Cure Fundraiser
Every year over 200,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with a form of childhood cancer. In Australia, more than 600 children are diagnosed with childhood cancer every year. In 2008-2010 cancer was responsible for 17% of ALL children’s deaths between the ages 1-14 in Australia. Cancer kills 3 children per week in Australia. It is the biggest killer of Australian children by disease. Childhood cancer comes only second to breast cancer when looking at number of life years lost. We cannot ignore these shocking statistics impacting the youth of our country, and we certainly hope that you won’t either. We need your help. September is Childhood Cancer awareness month. Unfortunately we have lost a dear daughter and niece (Leah -https://www.facebook.com/LeahsLegacyFund) to this beast; so we know the importance of finding a cure.
