ESTABLISHED 2007
MISSION We are a community of families fighting for better research and treatments for children battling brain cancer. We empower families with support, resources, and hope for a cure.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY We are a global organization of thousands of families whose children have battled brain cancer. We bring together and fund leading experts in childhood brain cancer with the intention of working toward a future where no child dies of cancer.
Rather than researching cancer the same way it had been, we developed a new strategy. Our strategy has allowed for better data collection, more collaboration between experts, revolutionary changes in the speed and efficacy of clinical trials, and longer life expectancies for children. Because of our efforts, researchers have made breakthroughs in our understanding and treatment of the world’s deadliest, most treatment resistant cancers. Because of your support, The Cure Starts Now has grown from a few Cincinnati families fighting for their children into a global network who all share one goal: cure childhood brain cancer.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP
• Join the Fight for a Cure While 100% of your donation goes toward research, you’re funding more than that. Your dollars fund hope, they show our families that they’re not in this fight alone, they fund better treatments for children battling cancer today, and a future where no child has to face a terminal cancer diagnosis.
• Raise Awareness Despite being the No. 1 disease killer of children, childhood cancer receives less than 6% of federal cancer research funding. For cancers like DIPG, children have a 2% chance of surviving five years. Not only do we aim to raise awareness for the urgent need for better treatment, we’re also advocating for policies that will double the speed of revolutionary treatments.
