The Faces of Many, Representing One Cause
The Real Faces of Childhood Cancer was created to honor the pediatric cancer
community. In March of 2015, The Max Cure Foundation asked families to share
pictures of their brave warriors who have been diagnosed with cancer. The goal
was to create a stunning image that would drive awareness and raise funds for
much needed research. The mosaic printed on this t-shirt includes over
850 pictures of children who have faced a cancer diagnoses.
The proceeds from t-shirt sales will support research for less-toxic
treatments for our children.
There are more than 15,780 children diagnosed with cancer every year in the
United States. With 16 types and over 100 sub-types, childhood cancer takes over
seven children every day and is the leading cause of disease related death
among children.
For those of who are lucky to survive, at least 1/3 are stricken by long-term
chronic side effects caused by the harsh treatments used to treat the disease.
Those facts are tragic but yet childhood cancer is the most underfunded of
all cancer research. Therefore, it is up to the community and organizations like
The Max Cure Foundation, to make a difference and find answers for our
children.
This mosaic includes over 850 pictures of children who have been diagnosed
with cancer. Some of these brave warriors have won their battle, some are still
fighting, and some have been lost to this world, all of who deserve to be
honored; for themselves and for the thousands of children who will be
diagnosed.
Proceeds from the sale of these posters will go towards advancing research
and creating less-toxic treatments for our children.
The Max Cure Foundation funds a lab at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center. The cell therapy lab is dedicated to the alternative treatments and
researching the cancers in children and young adults.
“Immune cell therapies are an exciting area of research that holds great
promise for future progress in developing more precise, less toxic treatments
for children and adolescents with cancer. With the support of the Max Cure
Foundation, the establishment of a Cell Therapy Lab will be a crucial step in
advancing the discovery and translation of new knowledge into novel gene and
cell-based therapies that are more effective in fighting pediatric cancers.”
–Dr. Richard O’Reilly Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
