Childhood Cancer: Ain't fair, and it sure ain't "rare!!"

So many of you love Halloween but, kids get cancer every day of the year because childhood cancer doesn't care if it's your favourite holiday. 🎃

Halloween, Christmas, your birthday - It'll strike.

Kids cancers are pretty much random, we don't know what causes them so, they can affect any family and they brutally take lives.

We will see so many friends post "last Halloween photos" this week. You know the ones, the very last photo they have of their child dressed up having fun at Halloween.🎃 🧙‍♀️

And I'm pretty sure some pics we'll all see this week will be the actual last Halloween photo ever taken of some kids too because that child will sadly pass from cancer in the next year.

Be aware!

It's not rare.......
