The Sam Day Foundation advances research for childhood and young adult cancers and facilitates wellness-centered support and experiences so kids with cancer can survive and live well.
Every year, approximately 17,000 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer.
Only 4% of the budget from the National Cancer Institute is dedicated to childhood cancer.
Many of the most devastating childhood and young adult cancer treatments are 40 years old, and research progress is decades behind that of most adult cancers.

SDF’s newsletter is rooted in journalism, science and compassion to help families and young people find wellness in spite of childhood cancer. This monthly newsletter will include helpful content such as scientific publications and quick references to help you make decisions, kid-friendly recipes packed with good nutrients, and personal stories from people who understand.
While this is written with cancer families in mind, anyone can subscribe and benefit from its content.
