A Different Kind of Fight
My 6 year old son Will was Diagnosed with Leukemia last July. He is in remssion and is doing good thanks to God, advances in medicine, and cancer research. We have met many people who have also faced childhood cancer and some were not as lucky.
We recently found a family on the net who lost their 14 year old son AJ to childhood cancer. AJ's father did some research and found out that childhood cancer is the #1 killer disease of our children and that it is estimated that only 3% of all cancer research money goes towards childhood cancer. There is a bill being "debated" in Congress right now to fund research specifically for childhood cancer. The bill will provide $30 million per year for childhood cancer research.
AJ's father has started a petition to get the government to address this issue and if you could take a minute to fill out the petition there are many, many people that would truly appreciate it.

OK FIGHTFORUM.COM...HELP THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER and show why this is the Number #1 MMA forum on the net.
Thank You for your support! |

Just did you one better than the sticky. This is now a sitewide annoucement, at the very top of every single forum and subforum.. so even the guys who don't visit this particular section will be able to do what they can to help out.
Best of luck to you and your son. |

Sadly enough, we spend more money in Iraq in an entire week than we spend per year federally on childhood cancer research.
