Pediatric Cancer is devastating, and there's nowhere near enough funding from the government. Many grassroots efforts and amazing partnerships such as Chilis/St. Jude's provide a lot of of the funding for research for cures. Here is an alarming statistic: "There are 15 children diagnosed with cancer for every 1 child diagnosed with pediatric AIDS. Yet, the US invests approximately $595,000 for research per victim of pediatric AIDS, and only $20,000 for each victim of pediatric cancer." Those are scary numbers!!
The team with their full bellies:
This isn't the first time the team has come together to support this worthy cause. Over the last five years, the team has made it out to 4 St. Jude's nights at Chilis!
The team has a lot more planned in the way of volunteering and philanthropy, so stay tuned!!
