Numbers

I saw this on Facebook today and just had to share it here.

Because, if you're not aware, it's time to be. There is no more time to wait.



That's 46 kids in the picture. They were chosen totally randomly today. We don't know why.

All happy, healthy, athletic, having fun, goofing around, innocent. They will be diagnosed with cancer today. Forty-Six.

And tomorrow. And the day after. All through next week. All month. All year. Ad infinitum.

Until we stop it.

Look again. Totally randomly, pick 7; black, white, boy, girl, 2 years old, 20 years old. It doesn't matter. That's the number of children who will die from cancer today. Seven.

And tomorrow. And the day after. All through next week. All month. All year. Ad infinitum.

Until we stop it.

When you read the statistics, when you see the numbers, NEVER EVER forget that those numbers have NAMES...faces full of love, moms & dads, brothers & sisters, friends & families, hopes & dreams...futures.

Help us stop it. Now.

Join PAC2.
