beLIeVE

Each donation to Brown Bag For A Cure will help us fund research, necessary to win the battle against pediatric brain tumors and to provide all of the children fighting today, and those who will be joining the fight tomorrow...HOPE.

Your generous support directly funds the research and development of new treatments, and it is through such research that pediatric brain tumors will be conquered.

The lack of money stands in the way, and time is running out for many of these kids. Today it is up to generous donors, and dedicated researchers, who have made it their mission to discover safer, more effective treatments and a cure for pediatric brain tumors.

Through your generous support, you have the power to create hope for the children whose lives we are committed to saving...the lives of our very own children and children we do not even know.

Won’t you please support the research so desperately needed to give all the kids fighting brain tumors today, and those who will begin to fight tomorrow, the hope all children deserve?

Know the Facts:

Each child in the U.S. diagnosed with cancer receives approximately one-sixth of the federal research support allocated to each patient afflicted with AIDS. Yet in 2004, 48 new cases of pediatric AIDS were diagnosed vs. more than 12,000 pediatric cancer cases.

The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) federal budget was $4.6 billion. Of that, breast cancer received 12%, prostate cancer received 7%, and all 12 major groups of pediatric cancers combined received less than 3%.

Cancer accounts for the greatest number of disease deaths of children in the United States and kills more children per year than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, asthma and AIDS combined.

More children die from a brain tumor than any other cancer or disease.

Oh and I forgot to ask - your site said you are raising donations until July 26th. Is it too late to donate?

Thanks, JoAnne
