Why Fund Research? Because Kids Deserve Better

Traditional childhood and adolescent cancer treatments are often harsh and come with a long list of side effects that can stick around even after reaching remission.

By funding cancer research specifically for kids and teens, we hope to discover new and better treatments, and ultimately cures, with fewer harmful side effects.
