September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Every 2 minutes, a family’s life is turned upside down when they hear the four devastating words, “Your child has cancer.” At Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance, we believe that every child deserves a fighting chance and you can help make that a reality.
