Life is normal until one day the unimaginable happens – YOU hear the words, “YOUR child has cancer”. These four words evoke overwhelming stress, anger, anxiety, guilt, sadness, and depression while attempting to navigate a formerly unknown world of treatments, medications, and procedures. You embark on the journey with a strong will to never give up while fighting every, single day to save your child’s life. “I began grieving the day my daughter was diagnosed. From that moment, I knew that her life was forever changed. My hopes and dreams for her would also dramatically change,” Cherri, mother of Teen Cancer Warrior and Angel – Lauren. Cancer affects a family’s life throughout treatment, into survivorship, and for some, is the cause of grieving hearts for those remembering their precious child.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Every 3 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.
This month, we honor brave young warriors, remember our precious Angels, and stand with families fighting childhood cancer today. From fundraising events to volunteer opportunities, there’s a way for everyone to join this mission of hope.
Together, let’s Glow Gold and remind every family: you are not alone in this journey. This September, we shine a light of awareness, love, and unwavering support for every child and family facing childhood cancer.
