RESEARCH

Our belief is that raising awareness is crucial to increasing research funding.  Awareness efforts alert the public to the magnitude of the problems faced by children and teenagers with cancer and those who survive their cancers. There has to be a better way of treating these cancers so that kids will not only survive their diagnosis but also thrive into adulthood, and we are determined to find it.  We will continue to be the voice for Zain, and others facing similar challenging diagnoses.
