The occurrence of children's cancer in the US is increasing annually; in fact, the rate of cancer in teens is increasing at a greater rate than other cancers, including breast, prostrate, and lung. More children are diagnosed with cancer than with AIDS, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies COMBINED. Children's cancer has no known cause, and its diagnosis is a shock to the family. Treatment will cost the family approximately 53% of their annual gross income. One-third of the children diagnosed will die from their cancer. Most people are unaware that children get cancer, believing it reserved for those over 21. Treatment and trials for children's cancer lead to improved treatment for adult cancers, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and many other diseases.

The Luke Neuhedel Foundation is a 501c3 charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with cancer through grants and family fun events. Established in 2002 in memory of Luke Neuhedel, who died of hepatoblastoma at age 3, LNF begins its 5th year providing aid and support to children with cancer and their families. LNF is staffed entirely by volunteers, thus all donations go to those who need it most --- the kids and their families. Find out more at www.lukefund.org, or write LNF at PO Box 137, Massapequa Park NY 11762.
