People who survive cancer have to go through a lot to get where they are today. They have to be strong to go through all the treatments, such a chemotherapy, which has bad side effects. I admire them because they kept going when they knew they were might die any day.

Cancer Survivors are some of the strongest people in the world. Just when things seem like they coudn't get any worse, they come back fighting. Some people pass on, and some survive, but all are some really true heroes.

Children who are sick with cancer

Children that are sick with cancer disease are heroes because they have to fight with the disease every day, and to try to become healthy. It isn't easy to fight with cancer; you need a lot of power and determination.

There is a hospital in Israel that is called "Schneider", it's a very special hospital because it's only for children. In this hospital they help children who are sick with cancer.

There are a lot of people who help and inspire these kids, one of them is Lance Armstrong who became healthy and survived his battle with cancer. Lance Armstrong created a foundation for these kids. One of the things that the fund did, was to make a bracelet that is called "Livestrong". It's a yellow bracelet, and all the money that the fund earns, goes to research and to support for cancer and children.

There are a lot of other foundations that help kids with cancer. We hope that all the people that are sick will become healthy soon.
