Every 15 minutes in Europe, a family hears the devastating news that their child has cancer.

As we wrap up #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, MEP Loucas Fourlas, Vice-Chair of MEPs Against Cancer, calls for stronger action against this disease.

Each year, over 6.000 children and adolescents in Europe die from childhood cancer. That’s the equivalent of 200 school buses 🥀

September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. Learn how you can get involved: siope.eu/shinegold
