September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month  

Childhood cancer remains the most common disease-related cause of death in children and adolescents ages 1 to 19 and the second leading cause of all deaths among children ages 1 to 14. Each year in Ontario, close to 400 children are diagnosed, more than 2500 children have cancer treatment or follow up care and 100 children die. There have been approximately 12 oncology patients over the last 5 years at CHEO from Carleton Place alone.

Thank you for doing your part for Childhood Cancer Awareness!
