💛 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
As the month comes to a close, we are taking a moment to recognize the children and families impacted by childhood cancer and the organizations working every day to change the future for them.
Cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease among children and young adults up to age 20 in the U.S., and more than 1,000 children around the world are diagnosed with cancer every day.
We are proud that Northwestern Mutual is one of the largest corporate donors to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), supporting its mission to fund impactful childhood cancer research, raise awareness, and provide support to families facing childhood cancer.
Childhood cancer research continues to receive significantly less funding than research for many adult cancers. Together, we can help bring greater awareness and support to this important cause. 💛
