I would invest 1/3, spend 1/3 on my family, and 1/3 would be divided up among my favorite charities with the majority going to Childhood Cancer Research . Having baby Adam diagnosed has opened my eyes......

Childhood Cancer Facts

Did you know?

Cancer is still the leading cause of death from disease among U.S. Children over one year of age.

Cancer kills more children than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, AIDS, asthma, and juvenile diabetes COMBINED!

In one month there are 2 times as many deaths from childhood cancer as pediatric AIDS for the entire year.

One in every 330 Americans develop cancer before the age of 20.

In the past 30 years only ONE new cancer drug has been approved for pediatric use.

While progress against childhood cancer has been made, cure rates for some pediatric cancers remain below 50%.

Sadly, over 3,000 children with cancer die each year. Thats about every 2 hours, 50 minutes a child dies from cancer.

In the U.S, among children, from birth to age 19, more than 18,000 cases of cancer are diagnosed each year.

Currently there is between 30,000 - 40,000 children being treated for cancer in the U.S.

Every school day 46 children are diagnosed with cancer.

On the average, one in every four elementary schools has a child with cancer. The average high school has two students who are current or former cancer patients.

80% of children have metastasized cancer at the time of their diagnosis. At diagnosis, only 20% of adults with cancer show evidence that the disease has spread or metastasized.

Detecting childhood cancers at an early stage, when the disease would react more favorably to treatment, is extremely difficult.

Childhood cancer is not a single disease, but rather many different types that fall into 12 major categories. Common adult cancers are extremely rare in children, yet many cancers are almost exclusively found in children.

The cause of most childhood cancers are unknown and at present, cannot be prevented. (Most adult cancers result from lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, occupation, and other exposure to cancer-causing agents).

About one in 500 young adults is a childhood cancer survivor. Nearly 2/3 of the survivors later experience significant and chronic medical problems or develop secondary cancers as adults that result from the treatment of their original cancer.

Cancers in very young children are highly aggressive and behave unlike malignant diseases at other times in life.

Cancer symptoms in children – fever, swollen glands, anemia, bruises and infection – are often suspected to be, and at the early stages are treated as, other childhood illnesses.

Treatment can continue for several years, depending on the type of cancer and the type of therapy given.

Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly and spares no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region. In the United States, the incidence of cancer among adolescents and young adults is increasing at a greater rate than any other age group, except those over 65 years.

This year, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells, will be diagnosed in about 3,000 U.S. children, making it the most common pediatric cancer.4

Childhood cancer survival rates in the U.S. have increased from less than 20% in the 1960's to almost 80% today.

The increase in childhood cancer survival rates can be partly attributed to the progress made against the most common childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The survival rates for Leukemia were 50 percent 50 years ago to 94% today.

Several childhood cancers continue to have a very poor prognosis, including: brain stem tumors, metastatic sarcomas, relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and relapsed non-Hodgkin's lumphona.

Despite these facts, childhood cancer research is vastly and consistently underfunded.

I was thinking charities too.
Mostly something that would give scholarships or free camping experiences for children.
The Arts
There are so many small worthy groups that would prosper if they had funding.
Animal Shelters
I had a long list but cant remember the rest.

don't I wish!!!.. the ticket was bought near Jen though..

all the dogs were under the covers this morning.. guess they had it too... LOL.. 39 now going to 48 supposed to be showers later on

32 & overcast. More beds are being uncovered. DH says that markers on one of them are bent over, probably have been stepped on by the deer.

My markers are all out of the ground! 30 here, going toward 50....

Sunny and starting to warm up. It is already 40 with almost no wind, only 7mph out of NW. So many things up and blooming that it does finally feel like spring. Patti

blue sky/bright sun = melting here - hate it when the markers work there way up and out - last year i made sure they were all as deep as the rocky soil allowed here, so far what i can see as still in place for the most part.
