Sam's Story
Sam fought hard for four years against neuroblastoma before passing away at age 7, on January 23, 2020.
The Samuel Allen Pampel Foundation has been created to raise money, not just for the children and families fighting the same fight as Sam and his family, but also for pediatric cancer research.
Here are just a few facts about pediatric cancer that you should be aware of:
Every day, 43 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States alone.
More than 40,000 children undergo cancer treatment each year; yet few cancer treatments are developed for them.
In fact, In the last 20 years, only 4 treatments have been specifically designed for children, and only 4% of the National Cancer Institute annual funding is spent on childhood cancer research.
Add your much needed support by running or walking with us on November 2nd at Bachman Lake or on your own anywhere from October 1 through Nov 2, 2024.
