THERE IS NOTHING<br />

MORE REWARDING<br />

Than Helping to Save a Child’s Life.<br />

Just the idea of a child — the carefree innocence — uplifts our complicated,<br />

grown-up lives like nothing else. Children are our optimism, our hope. And<br />

the future needs every one of them.<br />

Yet cancer will invade more than 14,000 unsuspecting children in the next<br />

12 months. Ravishing their little lives. And ending some forever.<br />

Yes, <strong>CURE</strong> <strong>Childhood</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> is a powerful influence in ending this disease.<br />

Our dedicated funding for lifesaving research increases every year. Four out<br />

of five children diagnosed with cancer are surviving. Yes, it is working.<br />

But childhood cancer is still with us, still devastating too many. To end it, we<br />

need every individual, every community, business and organization to believe<br />

just how essential you are to joining our crusade.<br />

When you care enough to believe that your heartfelt donation will help<br />

save a child’s life, a child you don’t even know, that kind of belief is<br />

contagious. It spreads. To more awareness. More donations. More research.<br />

Ultimately a cure.<br />

We owe that to the children who teach us their optimism. Believing until it<br />

comes true.<br />
