A good cause is always going to be good but the people behind it can make it even greater. Anyone can make a difference, regardless of how old they are, since the drive to do good things for a cause is something that transcends all ages. One particular story caught my attention and it told about high school students giving their time to help brain cancer research. Thanks to their actions, they have successfully raised money so that research can continually be done.
The story posted on CBS 5 AZ told about a group of students Saguaro High School that have held the Students Supporting Brain Tumor Research walk-a-thon. Basically, this is a yearly event and it seems like more and more people have been giving money to the cause as well. Since the event's inception in 2002, it has raised more than $1.75 million dollars. Even the previous year, that event alone was able to bring in $215,000, which shows just how passionate the students and participants are.
The money that was earned because of these events went to many institutions that work within brain cancer research, which is the way that it should be. After all, the people working for these establishments need the money in order to further their work and if it's not seen, there's a risk of the work being shut down entirely. This is the kind of cause that does not deserve that kind of occurrence. Companies such as Voices Against Brain Cancer offer support for research as well.
Students are in total control of this walk-a-thon and it has been that way since 2002. That year as certain amount of significance and I don't think many people understand why. Fortunately, the article went into detail about it, saying that it was the year that three students in the Paradise Valley School District were each diagnosed with a brain tumor. These growths stand as the leading cause of death in teenagers in the United States, which I do not believe should be.
This is a sad fact, to be certain, but that's why brain cancer research is consistently done. It's also why people on the outside offer their assistance on the matter through events which raise money. The students of the Paradise Valley School District have done exceedingly well when you consider the amount of money it has raised since 2002. Hopefully more people will see the drive these young people have and be driven themselves to lend a hand to help this reputable cause as well.
