Nationwide Pediatric Most cancers Basis to host Trend Funds a Treatment occasion



CANCER IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH BY DISEASE IN CHILDREN WITH 43 KIDS. THE UNITED STATES DIAGNOSED EVERY DAY THAT NATIONAL PEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION IS WORKING TO FIND WAYS TO EFFECTIVELY TREAT CANCER. AND JOINING ME THIS MORNING TO TALK ABOUT SOME UPCOMING EVENTS, A FUNDRAISER AND HOW YOU CAN HELP. CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER DAN JACKMAN. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOHN, FOR BEING WITH US. WE APPRECIATE IT. FOR THOSE WHO AREN’T FAMILIAR, TELL US MORE ABOUT THE NATIONAL PEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION. WELL, THE NATIONAL PEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION WAS FOUNDED 31 YEARS AGO BY TWO, LIKE REALLY BRAVE MOMS WHO MET IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN THEIR INFANT DAUGHTERS HAD PEDIATRIC CANCER. AND THEY FOUND OUT AT THAT TIME, LIKE SO MANY STILL DO TODAY, THAT CHILDREN ARE BEING TREATED WITH ADULT CHEMOTHERAPY AND AND TREATMENTS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE DON’T EVEN GIVE CHILDREN ADULT COLD MEDICINE. SURE. SO THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND THEY ALSO FELT THAT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CONCENTRATE ON JUST FINDING A CURE. AND THEY THOUGHT IF WE GOT A BUNCH OF REALLY GREAT MINDS TOGETHER, WE’RE GOING TO FIND THAT ANSWER A LOT QUICKER. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE HOSPITALS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE 31 OF THE LEADS IN HOSPITALS THAT ALL WORK TOGETHER WITH CLINICAL TRIALS AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE SEEING WITH THESE LITTLE BITTY, YOU KNOW, WONDERFUL LITTLE PEDIATRIC CANCER WARRIORS AND COMING UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO FIND BETTER TREATMENTS AND TALK ABOUT A CHANGE IN THE LAST 30 YEARS. I MEAN, THE SURVIVAL RATE IS PRETTY GOOD. THE SURVIVAL RATE IS GOOD, BUT THERE’S IT’S THERE’S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF A DARK SIDE TO THAT RIGHT NOW. STILL, 95% OF KIDS, EVEN IF THEY SURVIVE CANCER, BY THE TIME THEY’RE IN THEIR FORTIES, THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME OTHER MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE BECAUSE THE TREATMENTS ARE STRONG. RIGHT. SO WE REALLY DO WHAT WE’RE YOU WE’RE TRYING TO DO IS FIND BETTER TREATMENTS, FIND OUT HOW TO TREAT CANCER BETTER SO THESE KIDS CAN LIVE THE LIFE THEY’RE MEANT TO LIVE. ABSOLUTELY. AND YOU’RE ABLE TO DO THAT RESEARCH. YOU’RE ABLE TO FIND THESE NEW WAYS TO MAKE THINGS BETTER BY ALL THE EVENTS THAT YOU DO. I KNOW YOU HAVE ONE COMING UP. FASHION FUNDS, THE CURE THAT’S TAKING PLACE SATURDAY. YOU WERE HERE. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK. BUT YOU HAVE A BIG EVENT THAT THAT SHOULD RAISE A LOT OF MONEY. IT SHOULD. AND WE’RE DOING SATURDAY AT THE FORGET ME, NOT EQUESTRIAN FARM. AND IT WILL BE AN AMAZING EVENT WHERE CHILDREN BATTLING CANCER WILL WALK THE RUNWAY UNDER A BEAUTIFUL ARENA IN THAT EQUESTRIAN FARM.
