PREP4Gold

We strive to establish the next generation of prevention-sensitive care for children with cancer in 4 key areas: environment, treatment, cure, and survivorship.

On #GivingTuesday Prep4Gold is encouraging supporters to make a gift and spread generosity. Projects like our recent commitment of $10,000 to Children’s National Hospital are helping children battling cancer with their educational needs #prevention #childhoodcancer

Carolyn speaks about her journey through the memoir she wrote and published "Faith, Hope and Cancer: The Journey of a Childhood Cancer Survivor." Make a gift during the final hours of Prep4Gold Giving Day to help all children have a chance to thrive. #childhoodcancer #cancer

Board Member Carolyn Breinich was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in 1994. Today, Carolyn advocates for those affected by cancer. Make a gift today on Prep4Gold Giving Day in honor of survivors like Carolyn https://t.co/oiByKLrurV #leukemia #childhoodcancer #cancer

Because of cranial radiation treatment given to Carolyn, she has experienced basal cell carcinoma on her scalp. Carolyn continues to advocate for safer childhood cancer treatments through her work with Prep4Gold. https://t.co/oiByKLrurV. #leukemia #childhoodcancer #cancer

When we reference executive dysfunction in our teens impacted by #childhoodcancer these are the areas of concern. Trauma during treatment for teens, cognitive impact, or chemo-induced ADHD can make healthy functioning in any or all of these areas problematic.

This spring, PREP4Gold Prevention Lead Judy Fulmer worked with CAC2 to create the newly added #Prevention section in CAC2s #ChildhoodCancer Fact Library. Thanks @JoeBaber1 for your continuous commitment to this incredible resource. Find it here: https://t.co/f3uZIsOLst

Board Vice Chair Mary Beth Collins writes a heart-felt perspective of the full burden of #sideeffects on her #survivor, and herself. Accompany this son and mother as they both heal and learn to trust in his health enough to dream again. 🎗️ #childhoodcancer https://t.co/YI9m5qBDm9

Addressing care during surivivorship is paramount, but we most do so noting and accounting for disparities #childhoodcancer #disparities #WeMustDoBetter https://t.co/Vn8B5QVkVj

[PREP4Gold @PREP4Gold]

"...survivors were 80% more likely to be undertreated for these conditions compared to their study counterparts...greater awareness of the significantly higher cardiovascular disease risk when there is a history of cancer is important," #childhoodcancer https://t.co/WIfjac5AlN

[PREP4Gold @PREP4Gold]

FINALLY. If only it hadn’t required so much effort. Perhaps this will pave the way for other improvements to protect our kids as well #childhoodcancer #prevention https://t.co/5uapoK9Bas

[PREP4Gold @PREP4Gold]

“ 'Our data show that Hispanic children with high-risk neuroblastoma have inferior [overall survival] compared with other children...describing disparities is simply not enough, we must strive to identify mechanisms that cause inequitable outcomes,' ” https://t.co/ozZNRMypwk

During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, it is good to spotlight the unique needs of families dealing w/childhood cancer while in treatment or with chronic side effects and the supports available to help manage the trauma. #psychosocialsupport #childhoodcancer https://t.co/c8grpPWYFI

[PREP4Gold @PREP4Gold]

PREP4Gold thanks all teachers going out of their way to support our kids during treatment & helping to accomodate special needs for survivors dealing w/ long term side effects. You provide so much more to our children than just education! 💛#TeachersAppreciationWeek #TeachersDay

[PREP4Gold @PREP4Gold]

Chemicals kill weeds & fast growing cells. Kids' bodies are still developing, chemo treatments are more likely to affect their organs or create other cancers. Invest more into #ChildhoodCancer research, reduce the need for toxic chemicals @cac2org @HappyQuailPress #AACR2022

[PREP4Gold @PREP4Gold]

Many families share challenges in finding coverage either through health insurance or dental insurance for the type of long term dental issues that arise after treatment. We must do more to ensure proper support for our #childhoodcancer #survivors. https://t.co/I1UHIF67WP
