Age-appropriate, engaging educational materials are important because they can correct misconceptions and encourage kids to discuss and ask questions about these diseases. Improved understanding can also relieve anxiety and empower kids to support friends or family members that may be affected by cancer or a rare disease.Amy | Project Leader
