What would you do if your young child died today? Unfortunately, parents find out every day.
For years cancer robbed Ethan of his childhood and yesterday it took his life. There are no words to communicate our sorrow….this is a tragedy that we should never have to speak of.In a recent article in the NYTimes, Dr. Michael Link, the president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology recently said “If you are a pediatric oncologist, you know how to cure 70 …to 80 percent of patients. But without these drugs you are out of business.”What does this article tell us……children could be treated and cured, lives could be spared….if only the money were there to make the treatments available to everyone. Cancer treatments are being RATIONED in our country! We know how to cure most patients and the greatest barrier is funding. Please VOTE to help us give $250,000 to research. We could will donate every dime of the winnings to research. This is a golden opportunity but we need your help to double and triple our current voting.
For Ethan (Team Ethan Jostad) and for his friend Faith (Faith’s Friends)…..please vote every day! Childhood cancer NEEDS this win!
Today, we vote in honor of Ethan and in remembrance of his life.
