Properly fund research for pediatric cancer.
Each and every schools day in the United Stated 7 children die from cancer and 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. It only gets a fraction of the funding that it deserves compared to all other cancers and pharmaceutical companies do not invest in reserch due to the lack of profits in developing cancer drugs for a smaller pool of patients as compared to larger groups of adult cancers. Profit should not be a factor when saving the lives of children is the topic.
