Giveaway: Philosophy Gives to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer CLOSED

Every now and again I get the chance to share great news with my readers and this definitely fits the bill. Philosophy has teamed up with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, which is an organization created to raise awareness of and funds to support research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancer through the concept of hosting local bake sales.

Cancer remains the #1 disease that claims the lives of our childrens! And, each year cancer kills more children under the age of 18 than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and AIDS combined. For more information on Cookies for Kids Cancer please click here: http://www.cookiesforkidscancer.org/.

Here are some facts about Pediatric Cancer:

-Pediatric cancer is referred to as an “orphan disease” because there is little or no profit to be made by the pharmaceutical companies and the reason why they ignore pediatric cancers for the most part.

-Each year in the U.S., nearly 13,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer. That’s the equivalent of two average size classrooms diagnosed each school day.

-Today about 75% of children diagnosed with cancer become long-term survivors yet in the U.S. cancer remains the leading cause of death from one year through adolescence; more than any other disease. In the early 1950s, less than 10 percent of childhood cancer patients could be cured, proof that research can and is making a difference.

-Historically, some of the most basic and essential treatment strategies now employed in the fight against cancer – such as multi-agent chemotherapy and combined modality therapy – were developed through pediatric cancer research.

-In the U.S., combined, the cancers of children, adolescents and young adults to age 20 are the sixth most common cancer in the U.S.

-Recent reports indicate that nearly two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors experience significant medical problems resulting from their original cancer and/or its treatment.

Now that you have read all this information, I know you are thinking, how can I help? Well, Philosophy has made this easier than you think.

From now until October 15, 2009, Philosophy will donate 100% of the net proceeds of their Oatmeal Raisin high foaming shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. You read right, you not only get a yummy smelling Philosophy shower gel, but you get to help out a great cause.
