Every day 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. One quarter of them will not survive, and for those that do, the road ahead is uncertain in the side effects from the harsh treatments. Please help these kids. Below are just a few of the hundreds of ways to help.

The Cure Starts Now Foundation - Started in memory of 6-year-old Elena who lost her battle to brain cancer in 2006. They believe that finding the cure for all cancers, childhood and adult starts with finding the cure for pediatric cancer. All donations go to pediatric cancer research for a "homerun" and less toxic cure. http://www.thecurestartsnow.org/

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - The leading children's research hospital in the world, St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay.

Make a Wish Foundation - Grants the wishes of children with life threatening illnesses. Make a wish gives children and their families time away from the hospital to have fun doing whatever their wish may be; From being a super hero, to meeting their favorite singer or going on a trip across the world.

Tyler Genneken Foundation - Founded by the parents of 14 year old Tyler Genneken who lost his battle to Leukemia in 2009 after no match could be found for a bone marrow transplant. Their goal is to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research and to get 10,000 names added to the national bone marrow registry (Be the Match) to make sure no child has to face the same fate their son did.

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation - Started by 8 year old Alex who began selling lemonade to raise money for childhood cancer research and raised over $1 million before she passed away in 2004 after a long battle with Neuroblastoma. Her parents have continued the foundation with the help of people across the country starting their own lemonade stands and donating to the foundation.

About the Video:
I decided to do something I've never done before by trying to do a montage of real videos rather than just pictures, so let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions I'm happy to take them! But please keep them appropriate and if you have anything mean to say, please just don't say it at all as my only goal for this video was to raise awareness for pediatric cancer.
