You might try contacting him at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Thank you for sharing your story. I can only imagine your frustration at the continued incidences of cancer in your neighborhood. I believe the National Children's Study is designed to discover situations like the one you describe. While it won't prevent the tragedy of childhood cancers, it should bring to light many of the factors that are causing those cancers. Perhaps then corporations will clean up their acts and prevent future damage to our most valuable resource, our children. I applaud you for continuing to look for a cause. Have you reached out to other parents to join your efforts? Oftentimes, a small, committed group of parents can get the attention of the officials to make change. But it's very hard to do that alone. Please keep us posted on what you learn. Julia@blueplanetgreenliving.com Dear Joann,

Thank you for sharing your story. I can only imagine your frustration at the continued incidences of cancer in your neighborhood.

I believe the National Children’s Study is designed to discover situations like the one you describe. While it won’t prevent the tragedy of childhood cancers, it should bring to light many of the factors that are causing those cancers. Perhaps then corporations will clean up their acts and prevent future damage to our most valuable resource, our children.

I applaud you for continuing to look for a cause. Have you reached out to other parents to join your efforts? Oftentimes, a small, committed group of parents can get the attention of the officials to make change. But it’s very hard to do that alone.

Please keep us posted on what you learn.
