We ask Gov. Haley to proclaim September 2016 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month throughout the state and encourage South Carolinians to join together in honor of children who have survived as well as those who have lost their battle against cancer.

Proposed language: 

WHEREAS, 	cancer is the No. 1 cause of disease-related death among children in the United States; 

WHEREAS, 	12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year; 

WHEREAS, 	12% of children diagnosed with cancer do not survive;

WHEREAS, 	3 out of 5 survivors will suffer long-term effects of treatment, such as infertility, heart failure and secondary cancers; 

WHEREAS, 	neuroblastoma is the third most common pediatric cancer and the most commonly diagnosed cancer of infants; 

WHEREAS, 	neuroblastoma has one of the lowest survival rates of all pediatric cancers and there are few effective treatments for children who relapse with neuroblastoma;

WHEREAS, 	efforts of Chase After a Cure raise much-needed funds for childhood cancer research, especially for neuroblastoma research, at the Medical University of South Carolina, benefiting children and families in South Carolina and beyond;

WHEREAS, 	Chase After a Cure is recognizing September 2016 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and encouraging citizens to help in its mission to chase away childhood cancer.
