#MissionMarvelous
100 Days to Childhood Cancer Awareness Day
From November 8, 2025 through February 15, 2026 (International Childhood Cancer Day), we’re on a 100-day mission to bring Mia the Marvelous Lab Explorer to hospitals, clinics, libraries, and classrooms across the world. Each donated book opens a conversation about childhood leukemia, celebrates the power of science, and reminds families that every diagnosis deserves answers.
Join us! Post a picture, tag the authors, and use #missionmarvelous

OR

Every book carries hope. Every act counts.
