Our Mission

Parents Against Cancer (PAC) is dedicated to helping children with cancer or blood diseases and their families.

WHAT DOES PARENTS AGAINST CANCER DO?

PAC really is people just like you! People whose lives have somehow been touched by childhood cancer and blood disorders. We offer this web site to keep you in touch with things happening both in the hospital and in the outpatient setting. It is also a channel to find out about many of the events and people that you care about.
