ADVOCACY IN VIRGINIA
We need your help in advocating for children with cancer and their families across the state! Whether your family has been impacted by childhood cancer firsthand, or you just have a big heart, we are always looking for more advocates to help spread awareness and lend their voice to the cause.
Why is Advocacy Important?
Approximately 1 in every 300 children will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday.
Two-thirds of all childhood cancer survivors develop late effects from treatment that make it harder to learn and thrive.
On average, more than 350 children across Virginia's communities are diagnosed with cancer each year.
Join Our Advocate Community
It is vital that children with cancer receive the support that they need to ensure a brighter, healthier future.
Since we started on this path in 2018, our advocacy efforts have grown from just a few voices into an inspiring community of advocates from across Virginia.
Our goal is to educate and engage our elected officials to champion policies and programs that will improve the lives of children with cancer across our state.
