September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. There are over 500,000 children fighting 
pediatric cancer around world today. An estimated 46 children will be told they have cancer each day. The month of September is an opportunity to promote for more funding for pediatric cancer research and the opportunity to show our support for the amazing children fighting cancer.
The Jessie Rees Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling Jessie’s wish of encouraging all kids fighting cancer to NEGU, Never Ever Give Up. While every day is an opportunity for us to promote pediatric cancer awareness, September is a special month to us—-a whole month dedicated to the courageous fighters, our NEGU Kids, who never ever give up fighting pediatric cancer.
