Make August 'National Pediatric Gastroenterological Awareness Month'

In our country, many children have disorders of the digestive system. These disorders can be something they were born with or something that came later in their life. When they were afflicted, these diseases can be very stressful on the children and their families. While there is no way for the general public to help these families, knowing that there are people thinking about you can always make things a little better. The problem is that unlike other classes of diseases, such as cancer and heart disease, many people in the general public are largely unaware of these diseases and the suffering they cause. That is why we would like to see the White House declare August 'National Pediatric Gastroenterological Disorder Month' to help bring awareness to this overlooked class of disorders.
