September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and our goal is to honor the families who are courageously tackling this devastating diagnosis every day. We aim to raise awareness of the enormous emotional toll pediatric cancer takes on every member of the family, as well as the financial impact it has on a family’s ability to keep up with basic living expenses. We hope you will join us as we pay tribute to the children, parents, caregivers, siblings, and healthcare workers who inspire us to BE THERE to offer financial and emotional support so they can continue to BE THERE for children tackling cancer.
Here are some ways you can get involved:
-

Walking the path through childhood cancer brings monumental emotional and financial challenges to a family. From first hearing those frightening words, “Your child has cancer,” to navigating job and income loss at a time of skyrocketing medical bills, the road is fraught with anxiety. We invite you to walk in the shoes of some of our Tom Coughlin Jay Fund families as they share their personal journey through the short- and long-term effects of childhood cancer.
