Senator Brown
| Designating Ohio Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, September 12, 2014. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to designate September 12, 2014, as Ohio Childhood Cancer Awareness Day; and |
| WHEREAS, According to statistics gathered by CureSearch for Children's Cancer, approximately 15,700 young people are diagnosed with cancer each year, and more than 40,000 children are treated for cancer annually. While in recent years the number of children diagnosed with cancer has slightly increased, the overall survival rate has improved to nearly ninety percent due to earlier diagnosis and advancements in treatment; and |
| WHEREAS, Although the number of deaths have declined since the 1970s, cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease in children. Part of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Ohio Childhood Cancer Awareness Day can undoubtedly be a benefit to those who suffer from this tragic and life-threatening disease, as well as to the families and friends of these individuals, and it can offer them help, hope, and encouragement in the fight against cancer; and |
| WHEREAS, By participating in local and statewide events in support of Ohio Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, Ohioans can offer their support and comfort to those affected by childhood cancer. We urge all citizens to help raise awareness of these deadly diseases and make a positive difference in the lives of others; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, declare September 12, 2014, as Ohio Childhood Cancer Awareness Day; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly authenticated copies of this Resolution to the news media of Ohio. |
| I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 395, adopted by the Ohio Senate, August 29, 2014. |
