Lake Forrest Prep is fundraising for Cannonball Kids' cancer Foundation in honor of our founder, Karen Anderson!

Cancer remains the #1 disease killer of OUR children.

The mission of Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation is to fund innovative, accessible research for children fighting cancer to provide better treatments and quality of life, and to educate for change.

Resources funding pediatric cancer research are limited. Just 4% of federal research dollars are allocated for pediatric cancer each year. There is more research and innovation for adults than for kids.

Since pediatric cancers are different than adult cancers, giving children adult cancer therapies results in multiple life-threatening side-effects to cancer treatments.

Like outdated, ill-fitting hand-me-down clothes, adult cancer therapies just don’t fit kids’ bodies. But while second-hand clothes might be vintage and cool, treatments should be tailored to fit the individual. Research is the key to understanding the biology of childhood cancers.

Simply dosing down cancer treatments that work for adults creates brutal side-effects for children fighting cancer. 85% of children who survive will suffer from serious, life-long side-effects of their treatment, including developing secondary cancers and death.

Foundations like Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation (CKc) step in to fill the gap between the needed and available resources for innovation.

CKc funds clinical trials that develop cancer treatments specifically for kids, treatments that reduce the toxicity in a child’s growing body while still killing the cancer.

Since 2015, CKc has awarded more than $3.4 million in innovative research grants across 32 states, Canada, Scotland and Switzerland. The seed funding CKc provides allows young investigators and physician-scientists to demonstrate the validity of their innovative ideas.

We believe Research is the Key to finding cures for all childhood cancers, and with your help we will fund the innovation that will do it.

Join us in the fight against pediatric cancer today!
