Wednesday, February 15, 2012 is International Childhood Cancer Day. International Childhood Cancer Day was established in 2002, by the International Confederation of Childhood Cancer Parent Organizations, to raise public awareness throughout the world about childhood cancer. Sadly, each year 175,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer, of which an estimated 90,000 will die from the disease.

World Community Grid is running a project designed to help find a treatment for childhood cancer. It is called Help Fight Childhood Cancer.

We encourage you tell your friends about this important day, and ask them to join World Community Grid to participate in the Help Fight Childhood Cancer project. You can also read additional information about World Community Grid and International Childhood Cancer Day in an article on the Citizen IBM blog here.

Thank you for your support!
