Hi. Welcome to Team Childhood's HQ! You can hang-out here anytime. Call me Rei. I may have a different time zone from most of you guys and I'm currently battling for survival in the second semester of my first year in the University of the Philippines Visayas, so I'll be on and off, popping in and out like a mushroom. I'll come in as often as I can, promise. Cross my heart. I just don't hope to die. I'll be the team captain of Team Childhood for TDM 2k15. This is my first time being a captain, so 'goodluck' to me! xd Let's be friends, yah~?

UPDATE :: 30 APRIL 2015 ★Team Spirit Winner - JoyRose With this entry! Congrazzles~
Our team color is gold. If you think you must make your avatar wear gold from head-to-toe to show your support to our team, that's cool but it isn't required. Wearing a single daffodil or having even just one gold item on is enough. If you don't have gold items, yellow/near-to-gold items will do. I can give you some, if you'd like, so just contact me.

You guys can't walk out of here without knowing even just a little about what Childhood Cancer is. So here are some things about Childhood Cancer.
◊ What is Childhood Cancer? These are cancers that develop during a person's childhood years. All kinds of cancer, including childhood cancer, have a common disease process — cells grow out of control, develop abnormal sizes and shapes, ignore their typical boundaries inside the body, destroy their neighbor cells, and ultimately can spread (or metastasize) to other organs and tissues. As cancer cells grow, they demand more and more of the body's nutrition. Cancer takes a child's strength, destroys organs and bones, and weakens the body's defenses against other illnesses.
◊ What are the most common types of Childhood Cancer? The most common childhood cancers are leukemia, lymphoma, and brain cancer. As kids enter the teen years, there is an increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma (bone cancer).
◊ What are the treatments given? The treatment of cancer in children can include chemotherapy (the use of medical drugs to kill cancer cells), radiation (the use of radiant energy to kill cancer cells), and surgery (to remove cancerous cells or tumors). The type of treatment needed depends on the type and severity of cancer and the child's age.
If you want to know more about Childhood Cancer and other types of cancers, here are some websites that can help you.
►Do not quote any large blocks of text, such as any of the posts on the front page of the main thread or a team's thread.
►Please read the FAQs before asking a question. That way we can be sure we have plenty of time to answer any unusual or specific questions instead of answering the same common ones over and over.
►Contacting Crew: We are likely to be very busy around this time. Not only do we have to organize many things here at once, virtually all of TDM's staff is in college or high school. For us, April not only means TDM, it means term papers and exams. Questions and Yellow Wall entries will have priority over any art or banners you send, or Affiliate/Turn TDM requests. Please be patient with us.
►Be supportive of one another! Try to get along.
►And most importantly, strive for positivity. We encourage you to share your stories and feelings concerning cancer, cancer awareness, and the like, but this will not be a pity-party. Many people may be going through cancer themselves or seeing someone they love dealing with it. We’re here to hope for the best. heart
►Follow ToS and TDM rules - this is important, we don't want to be banned, do we? ►Be yourself - but if you think your best self is an a*****e, please get out. ►Please no fighting ►Respect one another. ►Sentido Comun - please, I know we are all born with this, choose to use it.
It's not hard to become a member of the team. Promise. Swear. No jokes. Okay, just do three cartwheels into the water, then swim a whole lap doing butterfly strokes and you're good to go. Just tell me you want in and I'll add you to the list. ^_^
