We would like to send a BIG thank you to all of the students at @greenwoodlab and @MissouriState taking time out of their day (and recess) to learn about childhood cancer research. This event was magical. #rethinkrecess @realwithpurpose @MSUUnivComm @MSUPRSSA @MSU_COAL

Only 40min until @greenwoodlab students will be spreading awareness at the @MSUBearBronze about the lack of childhood cancer research in the US!! #rethinkrecess @realwithpurpose @MissouriState @MSU_PSU @kytv @ksprnews

[Rethink Recess @417WithPurpose]

FACT: The National Cancer Institute designates roughly 4% of its research budget to all forms of childhood cancer and 96% of that budget goes to treating adults with cancer. #rethinkrecess @realwithpurpose

[Rethink Recess @417WithPurpose]

Children with cancer are only allowed outside to walk a track for 10 minutes each day while in the hospital #RethinkRecess @realwithpurpose @KIDSvCANCER @MakeAWishMO @StJudeResearch @MoStateCASL @MOStateCCE @MoStatePA @springfieldNL @kytv @417mag @PRSAtactics @officialSPS @sbjnet

Think about that number for a second. One of those children could have been president, one could have stopped global warming, one could have found the cure to cancer. But we'll never know. Help us change this statistic. Our children need you. #WithPurpose #IAmHappy

[withpurpose @realwithpurpose]

Just think about it. Only 4% to use to save the lives of the more than 15,000 children diagnosed with cancer in the US each year. We can, we must, and we will do better than that. #WithPurpose #IAmHappy #ConquerChildhoodCancer #BeatCancer

No matter where you stand on gun control, we must applaud the activism of our youth! Victims taking action. https://t.co/MpRaIchn1g

Amazing students are mobilizing on a variety of issues across the US. The ambition to solve BIG problems can be seen in even the youngest of minds. @realwithpurpose #rethinkrecess https://t.co/xeaDGFTlcz
