The Seany Foundation:
Working together to make a difference.
tag

The Seany Foundation is a non-profit organization founded to carry on Sean Lewis Robins’ legacy of battling Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) and to help find a cure for cancer. We are working to ensure that research programs devoted to rare childhood cancers get the funding they desperately need.

Childhood cancer affects 1 in 330 children before they turn 20 years old. Cancer is the leading cause of death in children. It is a random killer with no known cause. Our goal at The Seany Foundation is to fund cutting-edge research for ES and other childhood cancers, and to help teens and children thrive and survive, as they struggle through their own cancer journeys.

    Ewing's Sarcoma Statistics
Sarcomas (cancer of bones, muscles, fats, and some
   soft tissue) make up 20% of all pediatric cancers.
As a form of bone cancer, Ewing's sarcoma occurs
   most often in adolescents and young adults.
The five-year survival rate is just over 60% in children
   with localized disease (or disease that hasn't spread) .

Each year, the National Cancer Institute spends millions of dollars on breast cancer research alone, yet only $20-30 million is set aside for the research of all childhood cancer. And only a fraction of this funding is put toward finding cures for the many sarcomas that exist. The government plans to make more funding cuts for childhood cancers, especially sarcomas. Through an organized support effort, we can come together to help reconcile this harsh reality for children facing this horrible affliction.
