September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight the battles faced by children with cancer and the urgent need for research and support. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children, and every year, countless families are affected.
This month, we are asking for your support in our annual fundraising campaign. For over a decade, Ms Tanja and Team Al Siraat been riding to raise funds for children fighting cancer, and with each year, the need for support grows. Your donations go directly to the Children’s Medical Research Institute, which is dedicated to advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood cancer.
Government funding only covers so much, and the need for innovative research is greater than ever. Your donation, no matter the size, plays a critical role in helping these children live the lives they deserve – full of hope, health, and happiness.
By contributing to this fundraising campaign, you are not just donating money – you are offering hope to children and families who desperately need it. Together, we can help save little lives and bring us closer to a world where no child has to fight cancer.
Thank you for your support. Let’s make this September a month of hope and progress.
