We are raising money for research into the cause and cure of pediatric brain tumors. Brain tumors are the leading cause of death, other than accidents in children under the age of 15.

Last year .91 cents of each dollar raised when directly to the research and family support programs of the PBTF. We are making a difference and we will continue to support this cause until a cure is found for childrens' brain tumors.

The photo was taken at the 2004 Richmond event with three of the kids from our area.

One final thought: A wise person once said, "A man stands tallest when he stoops to help a child." Nowhere is that more evident than in the tens of thousands of fund-raisers and donors who support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Sam & Kathy Straughn 9282 Monongahela Tr.
