Childhood Cancer day very notable

Saturday was Childhood Cancer Awareness Day.

Almost daily, The Clyde Enterprise receives an update about efforts made by Alexa Brown's family to raise funds and awareness about Childhood Cancer.

Their efforts are justified, but work here is somewhat like preaching to the choir.

They need help getting the message outside the Clyde-Green Springs community.

It's also time that the message that Clyde is the center of Childhood Cancer in northern Ohio be abolished. The Ohio Health Department recognized that "something" may have caused an statistical high incidence here.

What about the increasing number of childhood and adult cancer cases throughout this region? A little girl recently died in Marblehead from cancer; The Enterprise also has interviewed the mother of another child with cancer in that same community as well. We also received information on other children in Sandusky, Bellevue, Berlin Heights, Fremont and it goes on.

It is time state health officials also look outside the Clyde box and see what is going on.
