The Senate Resolution recognizes February 15, 2025, as "International Childhood Cancer Day" in Pennsylvania, aiming to raise awareness about the challenges faced by children battling pediatric cancer. It highlights the alarming statistics surrounding childhood cancer, including that 1 in 285 children in the U.S. is diagnosed before age 20, and that a child dies from pediatric cancer every two hours. The resolution also notes the disparities in treatment access, particularly in low-income countries, and emphasizes the need for continued research and improved therapies to enhance survival rates and quality of life for young cancer patients.

Furthermore, the resolution celebrates the progress made by medical professionals and organizations in the fight against childhood cancer while reaffirming the Senate's commitment to advancing research and expanding access to care. It expresses solidarity with young Pennsylvanians affected by cancer, honors those who have lost their lives to the disease, and acknowledges the vital support provided by caregivers. The Senate encourages all residents to participate in raising awareness, supporting affected families, advocating for increased funding for research, and working towards a future where no child faces cancer alone.
