About Me:: Hi,

I am the Dad of AJ, a 14 year old cancer warrior. I wanted to make you aware (maybe again) and enlist your help for the Cure Childhood Cancer petition! Our goal is to have a one-hour special produced on network TV devoted solely to CHILDHOOD CANCER to raise awareness. And to publish a parent-written book about our miraculous children, with all proceeds going to CureSearch.

The GREAT news is that CureSearch (story on the Petition), LIVESTRONG (story on the Petition) and Alex’s Lemonade Stands have ALL written about the Petition on their websites! And TX Children’s and DUKE University have both allowed us to setup paper versions inside their hospitals! So this is a SERIOUS EFFORT AND WE ARE MAKING HEADWAY! Right now we are at nearly 15,000 signatures! But we need your help! If you can sign, and please make your readers aware, email it around, and give just a little airtime on your site, I know we can make this happen!

Thanks again,
AJs Dad

Cure Childhood Cancer

Hey everybody,

this is a topic near and dear to me and the parents of 12,500 kids every year, childhood cancer. Number ONE killer of kids from disease, more than from asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and pediatric AIDS combined. Horribly underfunded, less than 3% of all cancer funds go toward the kids. You can't just 'downsize' cures for the kids because they are still developing, growing and take more air, water and food per unit body mass than adults, in essence they are NOT little adults.

We lose 3000 kids every year. Like my 14 year old son AJ this January 5, 2008. Happy, healthy, athletic, smiling....looking forward to high school. Diagnosed with Burkitts on Fathers Day 2007. So, now I fight back. PLEASE click the logo and sign the Petition! Its quick, simple, and the kid you help save may be yours......

At 10:43am on August 31, 2008, AJs Dad said…: For anyone who wants to be involved in the fight against childhood cancer....come visit us at People Against Childhood Cancer (http://curechildhoodcancer.ning.com).....our mission is to raise awareness of the #1 killer disease of our children, cancer. Each day 46 kids are diagnosed. Each day 7 die. You don't hear about it on the news. You probably don't even know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. But it is. And we are committed to making a difference. Thanks....
