There's one really easy way YOU can make a difference for many children and families faced with cancer. Even better, it won't cost you anything, except a couple minutes of your time....that's it!
Pepsi is giving away millions of dollars to fund great ideas through the Pepsi Refresh Project. I have a "GREAT IDEA" for you to vote for!
Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation is a foundation founded by a Neuroblastoma mother who's son received treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. The foundation is working closely with scientists, researchers and doctors who are pioneering the Neuroblastoma field. The goal is to bring alternative therapies that could prolong the lives of children diagnosed with Neuroblastoma until a cure is found. Right now only 30% of children diagnosed with Neuroblastoma will survive. Neuroblastoma is considered an "orphan" cancer, so research funding is limited as pharmaceutical companies do not see the efforts as profitable.
Recognizing that children should not be viewed as a profit, but rather our investment, Arms Wide Open raises money for alternative therapies and actual treatments these children so desperately need in order to survive.
You can vote all three ways, every day through the end of September. The cause has to reach the top two positions in order to win the prize money.
