“Don’t kids matter? Aren’t we important? When I grow up, I will let there be GOLD.”
– Faris D. Virani
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Faris D. Virani, during his three year journey with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing sarcoma, was bewildered by the lack of public recognition around September and the gold ribbon, the symbolic color for childhood cancer awareness. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we invite you to join us in deepening our collective commitment to children with cancer. Shine bright, and “Let There Be GOLD!”
Ready…Set…Let There Be GOLD!
