Every two minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer. That's about 46 young people, or 5 fields of little leaguers each day. Although survival rates have increased, there is still work to be done and more lives to be saved. At the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF), we have spent the last 35 years fighting to improve the care, quality of life and survival rate of children with cancer.
It is our hope that through dedicated research, education, and fundraising campaigns like NVRQT, we can one day end childhood cancer forever. We stand together with a NVRQT rally cry against pediatric cancer. Cancer knows no boundaries, and neither do we.
Thanks to you, we can always put our kids first! The communities that support NVRQT continue to amaze us with their open hearts and generosity. We are fortunate to work side by side with the best researchers in the world. Tremendous impact on the research world is generated by events like NVRQT Goes Country. Because of you, we are that much closer to better treatments and cures for kids with cancer. Your commitment has allowed us to expand our research area and fund a robust $2.4 million dollar grant cycle in 2020. These 17 principal institutions across the country are leaders in in the field all focusing on ending pediatric cancers so children and their families can refocus on the joys of childhood. We are honored to have you join us as a pediatric cancer warrior dedicated to giving families hope for a healthy future.
As we continue to stand at the forefront of innovations, we know that we are here because of you. I thank you for your continued support as yesterday’s questions become tomorrow’s cure. -Jeri Wilson, Executive Director
