2024-2253FILE RESOLUTION NO. 2024-2253 A resolution recognizing September 2024 as “Childhood Cancer Awareness Month” in the City of Janesville. WHEREAS, the American Cancer Fund for Children and Kids Cancer Connection reports that cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children between infancy and age 15, with this tragic disease detected in more than 16,000 of our nation's young people every year; and, WHEREAS, every year, one in five of our country's children loses their battle with cancer, and more than two-thirds of those who survive cancer will develop at least one chronic health condition, with many survivors facing a late effect from treatment that could be severe or life-threatening; and, WHEREAS, the causes of childhood cancer are still largely unknown, and there is significant progress that must be made concerning childhood cancer treatment, with progress towards an effective treatment being painfully slow with dramatically fewer new FDA-approved treatments for childhood cancer approved each year than those for cancer in adults; and, WHEREAS, Janesville is home to many families impacted by this terrible disease and also organizations striving towards fighting it, including the Isaac Strong Foundation, founded and operated in honor of Isaac Patrick Johnson, who will be forever six, which works to provide direct financial support to children and their families impacted by childhood cancer and helps to raise awareness about the disease through education, and fundraising for continued research for better, less invasive treatment options for children and the continued pursuit to find a cure; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council of the City of Janesville does hereby affirm and proclaim September 2024 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Janesville and encourages all residents to join in raising awareness of childhood cancer and supporting those who are impacted by the disease as we fight for a cure.
