Dear ____

My name is _____. I have recently learned about childhood cancers.  I am upset that ALL of the childhood cancers, incredibly different and indescribably awful, only get 4% of cancer research funding! This is NOT okay and I am pleading for your help! Children and childhood cancer research deserves more than 4%!  I’m asking you to fight for the children!  Please, when the NCI’s budget comes to your desk, think of the child that gets diagnosed every TWO minutes in our country.  These children are forced into the fight of their lives.  Please fight with them!  The children, the future of our country, deserve more than just 4% of the National Cancer Institute’s budget!  

Thank you for your attention to this important issue!

Sincerely,

_____
