#StepUp: Make Childhood Cancer a National Child Health Priority

How will you #StepUp for Action Days in 2015?

A coordinated community effort is underway to storm Congress on foot and online. Childhood cancer organizations throughout the country are joining together to send Congress the message of #StepUp: Make Childhood Cancer a National Child Health Priority.

We have created #StepUp Selfie Signs for you to print and hold in your Selfie, or you can just write #StepUp: Make Childhood Cancer a National Child Health Priority on a piece of paper and hold it up.  To use a sign, click on a link below and print.  Please be sure to send in your selfie on our Facebook Page or by email to cperry@acco.org.  Thank you and we can’t wait to see how you will #StepUp!

History will be made next week when approximately 300 advocates come to Washington, D.C. for this year’s annual Childhood Cancer Action Days on June 15-16, hosted by the Alliance for Childhood Cancer. In the days leading up to-and continuing through-next week’s big event we need your help to make sure our voices are heard loud and clear by members of Congress.
