e-1283 (Childhood cancer)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Childhood cancer is the #1 killer of our children, more than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and pediatric AIDS combined;
- Children are dying daily, and nowhere near enough is being done to stop this;
- The majority of research is put towards breast cancer research which has a 90% survival rate as is;
- The childhood cancer numbers are rising, yet the research and funding are not, and this needs to change; and
- The current amount of funding put towards research for childhood cancer of 4% just isn't enough.
