Each year, France faces a little-known reality: approximately 2,500 young people receive a cancer diagnosis. On the international stage, nearly 400,000 adolescents and children are confronted with this formidable disease. The most frequent pathologies include leukemias, brain tumors, lymphomas, and various forms of solid cancers. Despite being rarer compared to adult cancers, these diseases represent the primary mortality risk for children over one year old.

The World Pediatric Cancer Day, set on February 15th, is a crucial moment of visibility and solidarity. It provides a voice to these courageous young patients while seeking to raise public awareness about a often overlooked reality. The goal is to break the silence, provide concrete support to families, and mobilize essential resources for research.

These pathologies are distinguished by extraordinary complexity: more than 50 different varieties have been identified, each requiring a personalized therapeutic strategy. Every tumor presents unique characteristics, evolving through specific mechanisms. Organizations like the 2500 Voix association work closely with researchers to develop innovative research programs.

The 2500 Voix association is preparing a landmark event on February 15th, 2025: a 27-hour awareness marathon, combining an innovative hackathon and livestream. Through their Instagram account @2500voix, the initiative will offer poignant testimonies from patients, scientists, and committed personalities. Original artistic challenges, including the creation of a tifo and live musical performances, will punctuate this day of mobilization.
