Sofia's Hope was inspired by the life and death of Sofia Blanco at the age of thirteen. And it is because of her and the over 17,000 children in the U.S. diagnosed every year with cancer that we will fight cancer by: increasing awareness of childhood cancer, and specifically that while more children are surviving their diagnosis, 95% of them are facing a significant side effect by the time they are 45 years old; providing programs for patients and families currently in the journey; and funding research in the area of pediatric cardio-oncology which studies the effects of treatments on these children's hearts.
