World Cancer Day 2021


February 4th is World Cancer Day. Each year over 16,000 children in the United States are diagnosed with cancer. Cancer is currently the #1 cause of death by disease in children and most treatments were approved before 1990. After fighting cancer, the toxicity of treatments leave 2 out of every 3 survivors with chronic health conditions. And nearly 60% of childhood cancer survivors experience additional life-threatening complications in adulthood. Today, and everyday, we raise awareness for those fighting cancer as over 1.8 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year! 🎗 #TeamJack #WorldCancerDay
