About Us
Mizzou MoreThan4 is an organization of both service and advocacy for children suffering from cancer. Pediatric cancer research is continuously underfunded, historically receiving less than 4% of the federal cancer research budget. As a result, children are often treated with drugs and therapies that were developed for physiologically different adult bodies, causing debilitating and sometimes lethal effects. Mizzou MoreThan4's mission is to raise awareness for this important cause and to bring about change through legislation. We also support local pediatric cancer families in need and raise funding to contribute to pediatric cancer research.
