Approximately 12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in
the United States, with more than 400 of those diagnoses occurring in
Georgia. Cancer. It is a battle too many of our young children and teenagers must
face every day.
The Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance
wants to see these statistics change. They hope to be the driving force
in increasing awareness of childhood cancer and enhancing support for
the young people fighting this disease—and the clinicians and
researchers who are helping them.
In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, Aflac Cancer Center pediatric
oncologist Dr. Howard Katzenstein, staff and volunteers at the hospital
came up with the idea to make a video honoring their patients. The video "What makes you beautiful" is going viral and is full of humor, hope and happiness.
