Today is International Childhood Cancer Day and being a childhood cancer survivor myself, it important to highlight days like today. Every year more than 400,000 children and adolescents below 20 years old are diagnosed with cancer. The survival rate depends on the region with 80% survival in high-income countries but as low as 20% in middle and low income countries. Founded by Childhood Cancer International in 2002, #ICCD spotlights the need for more equitable access to treatment and care for all children with cancer, everywhere; together we can eliminate all pain and suffering for children fighting cancer. #Morethan4 #GoGold #Fightlikeakid

On #WorldCancerDay, we unite in the fight to #ConquerKidsCancer. At the St. Baldrick's Foundation, our unwavering commitment is directed towards funding the best childhood cancer research with the most significant impact for kids with cancer. Our impact extends globally through St. Baldrick’s International Scholars, Consortium Grants, and support for the Children's Oncology Group. Collaborating with our international fundraising partners, we strive to propel breakthroughs in pediatric cancer research worldwide. The knowledge gained from childhood cancer research, whether conducted in the U.S. or other nations, will ultimately change the future for children everywhere. Together, let's transform the landscape of pediatric cancer and bring hope to every child. Give today: https://ow.ly/gFpl50QxumX

As we begin this new era as the Fanconi Cancer Foundation, it's amazing to see the incredible strides we've made over the past 35 years. From once viewing Fanconi anemia (FA) as a childhood blood disease to understanding its complexities as a lifelong DNA repair disorder and cancer-susceptibility disease, our evolution has been remarkable. Here is a snapshot of our achievements: 🔬 Discovering and identifying 23 FA genes. 💪 Achieving a 95% success rate in transplants at FA centers. 🌱 Supporting a thriving community of adults with FA. 🔍 Understanding the link between FA and cancer. Our success has led us to our next challenge: cancer. But we're prepared. None of this progress would have been possible without the unwavering support of our researchers, donors, families, clinicians, staff, and volunteers. As we share our Impact Report, we're celebrating past victories and charting our course for the future. This document serves as your roadmap, highlighting major milestones, our history, inspirational stories, progress in 2023, future focus, upcoming research projects, and a heartfelt thank you. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Together, let's continue to write the next chapter—one filled with hope, determination, and progress. https://shorturl.at/afqH0 #FanconiCancerFoundation #35YearsOfProgress
