Every day in the United States, 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. And every day, the brothers and sisters of these children are thrust into a world of experiences that will leave a lasting mark on their lives forever.

This mark may be a positive influence to negotiate life moving forward or it may be a painful "scar" from which to heal. Over 10,000 new siblings are affected each year, as their brother or sister is diagnosed with cancer.

At present, many excellent social service, medical and private organizations exist to provide "family support" for people touched by pediatric cancer. These services, however, primarily provide care solely for the child with cancer and his or her parents. Siblings are supported, if at all, as more of an "add on" in the family struggle to survive the pediatric cancer journey. As a result, siblings are often left with insufficient support from which to understand that they're not alone, they're not at fault and that their feelings are valid. A pediatric cancer diagnosis affects EVERYONE in the family. Siblings need to know, especially during the fight against cancer, that they are special and important people, too, and that there is an organization to provide support for their unique needs.

SuperSibs! helps children redefine the "cancer sibling" experience - by providing needed support services and by helping to draw out the greater and important lessons that may benefit these children later in their own lives.
