September
marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and all 58 Kneaders Bakery & Café locations
throughout the nation will sell elephant-shaped sugar cookies and "Hope
Fights Childhood Cancer" campaign-themed retail items to benefit the
groundbreaking work of Dr. Joshua Schiffman, world-renowned oncologist,
hematologist, teen cancer survivor and respected cancer researcher. Schiffman's
team has been exploring a cancer-fighting elephant protein called p53, which
helps protect elephants from developing cancer. Humans only have two copies of
p53, and some children that get cancer only have one copy of p53 in their DNA.
Since announcing the discovery of the elephant p53 protein, Dr. Schiffman
and his research team have been working around the clock to bring
the discovery to human trial.

Adam thinks they will be going. When they sign up I will make a new post.
