THE SOBERING REALITY OF CHILDHOOD CANCER
More than 44 kids per day are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S.
9 of them will die by age 11
Most survivors will deal with life-long side effects of their treatments
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER NEEDS FUNDING
The National Cancer Institute uses 4% of its budget for childhood cancers Pharmaceutical companies allocate less than 1% of their research & development budgets to childhood cancers
Hundreds of drugs have been developed and approved for adults cancers, yet only 34 have been approved for childhood cancers; only 6 were developed first or specifically to treat childhood cancers
IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE...BE PART OF OUR PROMISE
Researching these devastating rare cancers should be as aggressive as the diseases themselves. The survival rate for rhabdomyosarcoma has remain unchanged for the past 50 years. By supporting innovative, agile, and persistent research, we are contributing to effort to find better treatments and cures for kids like Maddie.
HOW CAN I MAKE AN IMPACT WITH MY SPONSORSHIP?
Driving change requires the collective efforts of many. Since our inception, Maddie’s Promise has supported important activities focused on targeted drug research and development, tumor sequencing and biobanking to optimize and personalize current treatment, and patient education and advocacy. These are large and costly efforts, but every contribution makes an important difference.
Maddie’s Promise has worked tirelessly to uncover new Rhabdomyosarcoma treatment options and identify those who are most committed to innovation.
