Mira's Movement Information

Mira's Movement is a pediatric cancer advocacy organization dedicated to supporting families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis, as well as making the public more aware of the devastating impact that cancer has upon children and their families. Through our awareness raising activities, we hope to create broader support for funding pediatric cancer research and assisting families caring for a child with cancer. Not enough is being done to better understand childhood cancer—what causes it and how to better treat it. It's not because there aren't enough researchers ready to do this work. It's because there isn't enough public and private funding to move it ahead. If kids could vote, this might change! And if parents of children with cancer weren't busy taking care of them, hoping to save their lives, or grieving, they'd be able to be more vocal advocates. For these reasons, many voices are not being heard, and we're working to change that. Please join us in speaking up for kids with cancer!
