The Kenai Peninsula Borough through a proclamation affirmed by Borough Mayor Mike Navarre, will recognized the week of October 23rd through October 29th, 2022 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Week on the Kenai Peninsula.
The KPB proclamation illuminates the American Cancer Fund for Children and Kids Cancer Connection report that cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children between infancy and age 15; and that one in five of our nation’s children loses his or her battle with cancer. An estimated 400,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer globally each year.
Through the proclamation the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly and Borough Mayor encourage all peninsula citizens to help increase public awareness and support for the children and families who are affected by cancer.
