2024 Together - Children's Cancer Partners

Diagnoses don't stop during the Holidays

Every day, families in the Carolinas receive the heartbreaking news of a childhood cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, those diagnoses happen 365 days a year. Your gift can provide critical support to ensure no child fights cancer alone.

Why Your Donation Matters: Every Gift Brings a Family Closer to Hope

Children's Cancer Partners helps with the hidden costs of cancer. There are only nine counties out of 146 in the Carolinas that have a pediatric cancer center, which means the majority of our families have to travel great distances in order to even get to treatment. Whether it's driving hundreds of miles a week, flying out-of-state to specialized care, or staying away for weeks or months at a time for treatment, Children's Cancer Partners ensures every child gets to the best treatment available for their specific diagnosis.

Transportation Assistance: Your donation ensures every child can get to the best treatment center to give them the best chance of survival.
Emergency Financial Aid: We help cover everyday essentials and emergency bills when families lose so much income in order to get their child to treatment
Support Programs: We provide compassionate support for each family during to make this journey less overwhelming.

Meet Maddox

"Maddox started complaining of headaches in the fall of 2019," his mom, Leslie, said. "By the week of Christmas, he started vomiting daily with massive headaches. I was taking him into his pediatrician's office weekly."

When Maddox's symptoms got worse, his doctors recommended an MRI, which showed a 4 cm mass on his brain stem. That meant emergency surgery before proton radiation at UF Proton in Jacksonville, Florida, chemo at Duke, and two years of physical and occupational therapy.

Today, Maddox is doing amazing! He just finished 5th grade, ended the school year with straight As, and even won the character award for his class.

"His perseverance amazes me," Leslie said ."You would never know his journey just by looking at him."

Through his journey and beyond, CCP has and will be there for Maddox and his family.

"We are so very thankful for CCP graciously reimbursing for travel, gas, and food," Leslie said. "I always received a friendly phone call checking in, and Maddox also received thoughtful goodies in the mail. We appreciate all that you did for us in such a stressful time in our lives!"

We'll continue to be there for Maddox and more than 2,400 children like him this year in the Carolinas, but we can't do it alone. Please consider helping a child like Maddox today!
