A Message From Kolbie Knorr

Hi everyone! Welcome to my fundraising page for the Children's Cancer Center. I am beyond excited to be raising awareness for a cause that is very personal to me. How common is cancer in children? About 9,620 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2024. Cancer incidence rates in children overall have stabilized since 2015, after increasing since at least 1975. Survival rates for children with cancer Because of major treatment advances in recent decades, about 85% of children with cancer now live 5 years or more after being diagnosed with cancer. Overall, this is a huge increase since the mid-1970s, when the 5-year survival rate was about 58%. Still, survival rates can vary a great deal depending on the type of cancer and other factors. Survival rates for a specific type of childhood cancer can be found in our information for that cancer type. Mortality in children with cancer After accidents, cancer is the second leading cause of death in children ages 1 to 14. About 1,040 children under the age of 15 are expected to die from cancer in 2024. The cancer death rate has declined by more than half from 1970 to 2021 in both children and adolescents, largely due to improvements in treatment and high participation in clinical trials. - American Cancer Society With continuing donations, we can continue to help with the immediate needs of local children and families battling childhood cancer. Every donation matters!
