September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a national effort aimed at bringing attention to the need for more support for childhood cancer research.
Locally, Chase After a Cure is two hosting events this month to raise awareness and money for childhood cancer research efforts at the Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital.
Chase After a Cure was started in 2009 by Summerville resident Whitney Ringler and her family after her son, Chase, was given a 30 percent chance of survival after being diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma. Chase survived and is now a healthy 8-year-old and a symbol of hope for childhood cancer awareness in Charleston.
