KidCan Foundation PledgePage
When adequately treated, approximately 70% of childhood cancers are curable.However, today only 20% of the worlds children die each year from cancer, and KIDCan Foundation is hoping to change all that. In the 1990's age-standardised incidence rates were 140 per million for European children (0-14 years); ASR rates for the 52 countries in the 1998 IARC study on the international incidence of childhood cancer have a rough average of 120 per million.
In the USA, childhood cancer was almost uniformly fatal before the mid 1960's, but survival rates improved to 55% in the 1970's and better than 75% in the 1990's. But 100,000 kids die each year from cancer. Our mission is to save 100,000 KIDS per year from death by Cancer no matter where they live in the World and with your help and financial support, KIDCan Foundation can continue to provide free flight support on private jets to kids with Cancer and one or both their parents to a medical facility for treatment. We are also seeking children who need our help and support, so please do inform us if you know of a child with cancer. Remember, when searching for information on the internet that every child with cancer regardless of financial or social class, race or native origin deserves access to the best possible treatment. |
