Kick Off to Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and we're kicking it off a few days early with our 5K!

Smile-A-Mile is committed to serving families in Alabama who are on the childhood cancer journey by being with them through diagnosis, during treatment and in the years beyond. We provide year-round programs for patients and their families with the motto “We Fight With You”. Smile-A-Mile’s mission is to ensure these families will never fight this disease alone.
