As I fly around the world, my goal isn't just to raise a million dollars to fight childhood cancer-| want to learn about and document the global fight against cancer so l can share those insights with as many people as possible. My stop in Pakistan, though brief, was a learning experience. I had the chance to visit @indushospitalhealthnetwork, one of@stjude many global partners. Just like St. Jude, Indus Hospital is a nonprofit organization where no patient pays a single bill; everything is completely free. Visiting their pediatric cancer ward, I was surprised to meet many Afghan families. These families often walk hundreds of kilometers, crossing borders with the hope of giving their child a chance at life. Tragically, once they arrive and discover their child has cancer, many are forced to make the heartbreaking decision to leave their child behind. It sounds unimaginable, especially after risking so much just to get there. But the sad reality is that cancer treatment takes a long time, and these parents often have many other children at home who depend on them. Staying at the hospital without income means they must choose between the survival of one child and the well-being of their other children. This painful reality is why we must continue to support institutions like St. Jude and Indus Hospital. They are tirelessly searching for better, more effective treatments to give every child a fighting chance. To help raise awareness, here are two common signs of cancer you can watch for: 1. Persistent fever lasting more than a month, on and off. 2. Unusual lumps or bumps anywhere on the body. Donate at Flightagainstcancer.com - @ethansbiography
