Just exactly how do we get the average person like you and the politicians and the corporations and the pharmaceutical companies who control the research funding to take creative ownership of the childhood cancer epidemic in this country? Because make no mistake about it… it is an epidemic!
Tom Mitchell is the founder and director of Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Foundation. Affectionately known as “Tattoo Tom” by the children and families whom he serves. He is also a nationally recognized activist and advocate for children with cancer and their families.
Following the death of his daughter Shayla in 2009 from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Tom dedicated his entire life to providing non-medical support to children with cancer and their families. He’s also committed to raising awareness of the need for more research funding and safer, less toxic treatments for children with cancer.
Dubbing himself and those who work for Stillbrave as “Renegades” Tattoo Tom is always anxious to share what he’s learned, grown to understand, but refused to accept. He is very outspoken. His obvious passion, continued activism, and his innate need to be a voice for those who do not have one has led him to being at the forefront of a grassroots movement.
In September of 2015 Tom competed in and finished the Tahoe 200 mile ultramarathon. He is an extreme runner and has been featured in an award-winning documentary and news stories of his exploits have won several Emmy awards. To date he has raised over $350,000 for Stillbrave just through his ultrarunning endeavors
On any given day you are likely to find Tom on a personal visit either at the chemotherapy clinic or bedside within the confines of a hospital room where his ability to console the inconsolable is an invaluable asset. Humor, compassion and first-hand knowledge of this kind are almost impossible to quantify and cannot be delivered in a gift card, or a care package.
The following day you may find Tattoo Tom at the White House, speaking at a rally or on the streets of Washington D.C. carrying a picket sign, loudly and unapologetically vocal about what matters most, the eradication of childhood cancer.

A cure is always the goal. But the journey to remission, the treatment itself is unthinkably hard for families touched by childhood cancer. We need better cures, safer cures - and we can't get there soon enough for kids like Vara. Join the search for cures: http://www.blockoutcancer.org.

I'm playing Stardew Valley to provide information about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. For their 60th anniversary, St. Jude held a charity fundraising event inviting people from all over the globe to contribute 60 minutes per week of game time in order to help raise money that St. Jude would then use to provide care and services for children with childhood cancers and other diseases. St. Jude does not bill families for their services; the services are entirely covered by donations, so they need our support to continue saving lives as they've been doing for 60 years. Head over to their website at: https://www.stjude.org/ for more information, or to see how you can get involved.

On January 30, 2015, Cheyenne was having difficulty breathing. After a trip to the local ER, she was air lifted to Children’s Hospital Colorado in Denver.
Her doctors discovered a large, life-threatening tumor blocking her airway. Soon after, Cheyenne was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. By the next day, she began an aggressive chemotherapy treatment that will last for the next two years.
Cheyenne continues to “fight like a girl” and aspires to be a pediatric oncologist one day, so she can help kids like her.

To mark International Childhood Cancer Day, 15 February, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) presents a new video explaining how our researchers “time-travel” to investigate the origins of childhood cancers.
More children die from childhood cancers than from any other disease. Understanding what causes these cancers is key to preventing them and to finding cures.
