PHOENIX — Cancer is the biggest killer of children over the age of 1, but a local organization is trying to change that.

The Scottsdale, Arizona-based Purple Society is working to cure childhood cancer on a cellular level.

The organization is in the early stages of developing targeted treatments, but has only had minor success. It is searching for prediction models to test in both the general populace and small subsets of children with common diseases.

The organization accepts online donations.
