Note From Vladimir
I first want to tell you why raising money for PBTF has become so important to me. Unfortunately I have a first hand experience as my own kid is currently fighting a brain tumor.
I saw myself what those amazing medical folks at Children’s, Mass General and Dana Farber can do. Surgeries, tests, treatments – all of it feel like a miracle is being performed. But it’s not a miracle. It’s hard work, tons or research, trials & errors. All of it, of course, costs money but also it takes time. Time that many kids with brain tumor DON’T HAVE!
Some info on PBTF
I’ve learned that when the PBTF was created in 1991, the diagnosis of a brain tumor was virtually a death sentence for a child. Because there was very little research being done into the disease, most treatments were ineffective or harsh, and most children did not survive to adulthood.
The PBTF has worked hard to change that reality. Researchers are developing new therapies that extend the lives of children, and the great hope is their work will ultimately lead to a cure for this most devastating of childhood cancers.
PBTF is the world's largest non-governmental source of funding for childhood brain tumor research. It’s folks work every day not only to eradicate the disease, but also to support families.
