1 in 20 children faces a birth defect or genetic disease, like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and life-threatening metabolic disorders. That's 12 children born every minute worldwide. Your support means the scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute can find treatments and cures for previously incurable conditions. Kids just want to be kids, but instead of playing sports with their friends seriously ill children are getting liver transplants, taking dozens of medications, or getting their next dose of chemotherapy. It shouldn't have to be this way. You can help us find the cures, so kids can just be kids.
