"kids can't fight cancer alone!"

I am now a member of the American Childhood Cancer Organization or ACCO. This organization is in the process of sending my family around 6 different books. Some are for Jerry and I, and some are for the kids. The children's books are designed to express emotions they may have felt or are feeling. The books for us parents are educational tools. This organization is also willing to reach out to children's educators to help inform them understand what student with cancer or sibling is going through and how it can effect them academically.

This is an amazing national organziation!!

"Our mission is to provide information and support for children and adolescents with cancer and their families, to provide grassroots leadership through advocacy and awareness, and to support research leading to a cure for all children diagnosed with this life-threatening disease.

While treatment for childhood cancer has improved drastically over the past 38 years of our organization’s existence from less than 20 percent survival to an approximate 75 percent overall five year cure rate, sadly childhood cancer remains the number one disease killer of our nation’s children.

Children face aggressive treatments leaving a trail of devastation for their families. The diagnosis of a child with cancer is often at a time when the family is young and has a limited income. Often there are other small children to care for. Often one parent has to stop working to care for their sick child. The impact of having a child diagnosed with cancer is deeply felt financially, socially, and emotionally by the entire family. The needs are great and since our inception in 1970, ACCO has become a recognized leader both nationally and internationally in the providing pediatric cancer family support.

Founded in 1970, the American Childhood Cancer Organization® is the largest grassroots childhood cancer organization in the U.S.. We have serviced more than 100,000 families of children with cancer, and we work to raise awareness and to advocate for their needs and for funding and research.

We are the largest publisher and distributor of free childhood cancer books in the country. We host the largest national childhood cancer awareness event each December holiday season. We represent childhood cancer on numerous cancer organizations and to members of Congress on Capitol Hill; and we support cutting edge research that leads to new and better treatments for our nation’s littlest cancer patients.

As the largest childhood cancer grassroots organization in the country, we know first hand that "kids can't fight cancer alone!"
