Close the Gap in Pediatric Brain Cancer Care

Raising funds to change the trajectory of pediatric brain cancer diagnoses and treatment for all families.

When our daughter Adelia was diagnosed with Diffuse Midline Glioma, or DMG in February 2023, we were propelled into a world that needs our attention and support. We quickly learned how vastly underfunded pediatric cancer research is, and how promising breakthroughs in labs can never reach patients due to lack of funding. Or sometimes, a trial will be cut off due to lack of funding, causing patients to abruptly change their treatment plans.

Only 4% of all federal funding for cancer research is allocated for pediatric cancer research. And of that 4%, only 1% is allocated for pediatric brain cancer - amounting to a mere 0.04% of all federal funding for cancer research. For a condition that is the most common type of brain tumor in children under the age of 5, these numbers are startling.

Each year, 300 to 500 families in the United States receive the same diagnosis we did. And here's a fact that brings home the urgency of our mission: the only standard of care for DMG is radiation, a treatment that has remained unchanged since Neil Armstrong's daughter received her diagnosis in 1962.

We can, and we must, do better for our children.

Resources: Understanding Diffuse Midline Glioma

Study finds improved survival for incurable brain tumor, providing ‘a crack in the armor’ (Michigan Medicine, August 16, 2023)

For the first time, researchers have found a potential drug candidate that improved outcomes for patients with a type of childhood brain tumor for which there are no effective treatments. The compound, called ONC201, nearly doubled survival for patients with diffuse midline glioma or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, compared to previous patients.
