Considering how powerful the lyrics of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" are, it usually doesn't take much to spark some emotion in listeners whenever it plays. But when you pair sick children who are physically fighting for their lives with the moving melody, you might as well just give in to the wave of feelings that are guaranteed to overtake you.

In honor of September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Doctor's Hospital at Renaissance in Texas created a tear-jerking video showcasing their little warriors as well as their determination to defeat cancer and live another day. With their infectious spirits, these "prizefighters," whose ages range from 5 months to 17 years old, are certainly speaking volumes, and their attempt to take back their lives will both rip your heart out and inspire you at the exact same time.

An equally tear-inducing tribute at the end honors nine children who lost their fight. But instead of losing all hope, you can show your support for all of these brave kids and their strong families by sharing their important message as well as the innocent and real faces behind the daunting label of childhood cancer.
