I received this link to a YouTube video, put together by families supporting CureSearch, from Trina Swift-Crosby, the mom of Montana who last weekend celebrated her 1-year anniversary of living cancer free.

The video is worth the watch, and reminds us that while we may get overloaded with requests to “support the cure” of many variations of cancer, childhood cancer is the largest killer of children above any other disease. It’s also scary to think Congress recently made a decision that will impact the amount of money going toward funding medical research into finding the cure for various types of childhood cancer.

The video has more statistics and photos set to a song written by Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin. While it has been said the song (Fix You) was written by Martin for his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, who suffered depression after her father Bruce Paltrow died, the words are perfect for the video.

Please take time to watch it – it’s about 5 minutes. Make sure you have tissues near by, it definitely gets the tear ducts flowing. (I hope it also inspires you to do something locally to support childhood cancer).

Watch the video here.
