• One in every 330 Americans develops cancer before the age of twenty.
• On the average, 46 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer every weekday in the United States
• On the average, one in every four elementary schools has a child with cancer. The average high school has two students who are current or former cancer patients.
• Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States.
• Childhood cancers affect more potential patient-years of life than any other cancer except breast and lung cancer.
• The causes of most childhood cancers are unknown. At present, childhood cancer cannot be prevented.
• Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly and spares no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region.
• In the United States, the incidence of cancer among adolescents and young adults is increasing at a greater rate than any other age group, except those over 65 years.
For these young children, they had no choice. Fate has given them this disease. But we can help continue to cure them. Maybe, one day, we will also find a way to prevent it. This holiday season, be thankful for what you are blessed with and help those who aren't as blessed.

markellyabout 2 years agoThis is one of the most heart warming and heart breaking stories I have read. It must have taken a great deal of effort to write this, THANK YOU.
It truly is a beautiful story.
RomanticClownabout 3 years agoAs a cancer survivor I know how much pain she was in. It was a wonderful story, I cannot praise you enough for pointing out how much we should support cancer research. Five stars!!!!!
LilacQueen15over 3 years agoAllison is now with her first Daddy. She has the opportunity to get to know her biological father and love him.
Beautiful, heart wrenching story.
Anonymousover 4 years agoThis was a well written story, with a sad ending. The notations at the end about the increased incidence of cancer in children reminded me of an article on cancer.
Since the end of WWII the increase of Genetic Research in crop and animal has been greatly advanced. What does this mean, the new strains of mutated products is passed onto those who eat these foods. Think about this, what we eat is passed on to the next generation.
Anonymousover 5 years agoWhere once I had a tonsil, I developed a tumor.
I'm one of the lucky ones (10 years and counting) but I know it's bloody painful.
Anonymousalmost 6 years agoCall me crazy but I just can’t get into stories about kids with cancer. I read about half a page and decided that this story just isn’t something I want. It may be the greatest love story ever written but because of the way it started I’ll never know. Some things can be a little “too close to home” to want to be reminded of it.
Anonymousalmost 6 years agoI had to force myself to read to the end. I get very upset with stories about cancer, particularly those involving children but felt that it was important to finish it and applaud the bravery of those with this terrible, hateful, cruel disease. Having lost two grandparents, five aunts & uncles, a cousin & my first wife to various cancers and having been recently diagnosed with SCC myself, it was a tragic but ultimately inspiring story. I only hope that I can be strong when my time comes. Love & peace.
