The PBTF is dedicated to supporting the search for the cause and cure of childhood brain tumors. We are the largest non-governmental funder of brain tumor research in the world and rely on the generosity of individuals to fund the research that is saving children’s lives. Through research, new therapies are being developed that extend the lives of children, and we believe, will ultimately lead to a cure for this most devastating of all cancers.

| My personal message: |
This is one of the last photos of all three brothers taken together. The oldest is the one with the hearing aids. I'll try to keep this short. The foundation was very instrumental in his life being prolonged and he had his cognitive skills through out the years of treatment. We never gave up nor did he. But when this was taken it was just before Christmas 2003. We had been told that we were out of options and he only had a few months to live. They were right. He passed away the day after Mothers day at 0600 May 10,2004. The ride that we went on is so bad and rough that I have a hard time talking about it still today. He was so brave and thought about everyone else. So much so that he even wanted to donate anything from his body that could be used for other children. In the last few weeks before he got too bad to do very much, he spent whistling while packing up his toys and models for his brothers as gifts for years to come. Even though his battle is over, it is still happening to other children. We need to keep fighting for cures and better treatments that won't make these children deaf, sterile or give them another form of cancer when they are grown. Not to mention that they (and the parents) would have loved to seen them grow up and lead a normal childhood life.
Please help us find a cure and if you have a bike I hope to see you at the rides.
Thank you
Jon Wilson and Family
