Groups like CureSearch, foundations and individuals approach childhood cancer advocacy through hard work in lobbying for executive and legislative initiative that improve the research and care of childhood cancer patients. One example is that September is "Childhood Cancer Awareness Month" by Presidential Proclamation. Nancy Goodman is a childhood cancer parent and founder of KidsvCancer.org who regularly lobbies on behalf of childhood cancer causes. Another advocacy group for increasing drug availability for cancer patients is the Abigail Alliance. These groups certainly deserve our thanks and support in their efforts.
