Jess's Fund for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Donation protected
Hi friends, join me in making a difference by supporting a good cause! I'm raising money for Cooper Rice-Brading Foundation Ltd. and any donation will help make a difference.

Each September is global Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Cooper lost his life to Sarcoma as an adolescent. 

At age 16 he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer known as Osteosarcoma. His family, through this tragedy, formed Crbf.org.au, and continue to work tirelessly to improve the treatment options for sarcoma. 

They not only focus on treatment, but support and fund research, clinical trials and patients,  along with their families affected by Sarcoma.

This September I hope to raise money for them to continue their work. Sarcoma accounts for 20% of childhood cancer, yet receives 1% of cancer research funding. 

Did you know...
Because of the treatments they had as kids, more than 99 per cent of childhood cancer survivors will have a chronic health problem and 96 per cent will have severe or life-threatening conditions.

Much of what we know about treating adult cancers has been learned from childhood cancer research. Some aspects of cancer treatment today, such as combination chemotherapy, can be traced to paediatric cancer research. 

I hope you consider helping out this amazing foundation. I can't thank them enough for the regular offers of support and continuously checking in with me as my sarcoma continues to grow and not respond to treatments 

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me.
