Every 36 minutes, one more child in the United States is diagnosed with cancer. Each year there are 15,000 new childhood cancer patients, and there are over 40,000 children who are currently in treatment. Two out of three children who survive will suffer lifelong effects caused from their cancer treatments. Our children need—absolutely need— politicians, celebrities, businesses, sports organizations, essentially everyone who walks the Earth and breathes, to act to #EndChildhoodCancer We are all called to be Gold Spokes in the Wheel speeding its way to cures.
One of the stellar “Gold Spokes” in the “Wheel” on its way to end childhood cancer is Hyundai. On this day, Hyundai is kicking off their 16th annual Hyundai Hope on Wheels program. Over the past 16 years, they have raised over $86 million to fight pediatric cancer. Yes, $86 million! Michelle Williams has recently joined Hyundai to help them in their wish to #EndChildhoodCancer.
On April 9th of this year, Hyundai Hope on Wheels announced a $2 million grant they awarded to fund Children’s Oncology Group’s Project:EveryChild. This grant will allow doctors and researchers access to thousands of cancer specimens in an enormous database at the Hyundai COG Biorepository.

“Hyundai’s generous support to Project:EveryChild will make a significant difference in our ongoing battle against childhood cancer,”
“This crucial funding will ensure that every child diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will be eligible to participate in and benefit from the advances in research from Project:EveryChild, regardless of the rarity of the type of cancer.”
~Dr. Peter Adamson
Chairman of the Children’s Oncology Group

Now that we see how this automobile manufacturer, Hyundai, has huge ambitions to help our kids, I HOPE more and more consumers will turn their attention and their dollars to show their appreciation to Hyundai.
Thank you, Hyundai Hope on Wheels! Very best wishes to youth ambassadors, Ashley Burnette and Kenny Thomas!
