The official color of #ChildhoodCancerAwareness is gold. Every year in September, we use the color gold to show support and bring much-needed attention to the children in Virginia and across the country who are diagnosed with cancer. This September, you can join the community of advocates going gold across VA to support the kids in our own backyard. Getting involved is as easy as changing a light bulb! 💡

Childhood cancer is more common than you might think. In Virginia, the average number of diagnoses each year is 337 - almost 1 diagnosis per day. Yet, there’s absolutely zero dollars in our state funding dedicated to helping these kids. We need YOUR help to shine a light on this issue and show VA’s leaders how important this funding is to our community. Getting involved is as easy as sharing this post & changing a light bulb! 💡

Did you know that ZERO percent of our state’s $20+ million cancer budget goes to supporting Virginia’s youngest cancer patients and survivors? My home is proudly going gold during #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth to show Virginia’s leaders how important this funding is to our community, so that we can change this statistic. Our kids deserve so much more than zero percent! 💛

Two-thirds of childhood cancer patients will develop at least one late effect from the disease or treatment, including cognitive effects such as slower processing speeds, short-term memory issues and trouble with executive functioning skills. So many of these late effects could be reduced with better treatment therapies, and helped with more accommodations in schools. This is where you come in! 💡

On average, a child going through treatment will miss about 43 days of school. Right now, there's an estimated 4,000 patients and survivors currently in Virginia’s school system don’t receive dedicated support to help them keep up with their peers. There's so much more Virginia's leaders can do to make sure the next generation of patients and survivors don't fall behind.

Children and families battling cancer often face a lot of dark moments throughout their journey. Right now, the 337 kids diagnosed with cancer each year in Virginia don't get a single dollar from the state's $20+ million cancer budget. My home shined gold all month long for #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth to support these kids and to show Virginia’s leaders how important this funding is to our community! 💡

September might almost be over, but there are still more ways to help and get involved. Visit gogoldva.org and askccf.org to see what else you can do to support our community’s youngest patients and survivors. 💛 #gogoldva
