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.
