Our grant program funds research every step of the way, from early-stage innovative research all the way to lifesaving clinical trials for patients with Ewing Sarcoma. Your donations fund research that we believe have the potential to bring better treatment options and a cure to patients with Ewing Saroma in the near future.
With only 8% of government cancer research funding going to pediatric cancers, hospitals and institutions rely on medical grants given by foundations and the public. Ewing Sarcoma treatment has one of the oldest protocols, with the last working chemotherapy developed in 1970. The treatment is very demanding on the body, with patients often needing multiple rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
Because childhood cancer protocols call for a hard regimen, children and families will often spend days, weeks, months, and years in the hospital while undergoing treatment. Planned events are often a special moment for kids who get to have an experience away from the hospital and just be kids. We plan on making these special moments for those who already have enough to worry about on their own. Your donation could help put a smile on a kids face and motivate them to spread their wings and have fun!
