House Resolution No. 279.
A resolution to declare June 2, 2012, as Childhood Cancer Survivors Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Today, over 250,000 Americans are survivors of childhood cancer. Most children survive thanks to advances in early cancer detection, treatment, and research; and
Whereas, Children's Hospital of Michigan, the oldest and largest hospital caring for the children of Michigan, has an active and productive cancer survivor population. This demonstrates that a cancer diagnosis is no longer an automatic death sentence; and
Whereas, In addition to Childhood Cancer Survivors Day, communities all across America will be celebrating life Saturday, June 2, 2012, as part of the world's largest cancer survivor event, the 24th annual National Cancer Survivors Day; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body declare June 2, 2012, as Childhood Cancer Survivors Day in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to join in this joyous celebration of life; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Children's Hospital of Michigan as evidence of our support for their endeavors.
