CureSearch for Children's Cancer

As we reflect on the year, we celebrate the incredible progress being made in childhood cancer research, thanks to leaders like Dr. Crystal Mackall. Her work on CAR-T cell therapy has shown promise in treating deadly brain cancers like DIPG. One patient, after participating in a Stanford trial, has been cancer-free for four years! With breakthroughs like this, hope is growing. Join us in supporting this vital research and help us reach our $150K goal to give more children a chance at a brighter future.

ATRT is a very tough-to-treat pediatric brain tumor, but Dr. John Prensner is exploring something entirely new. He’s studying tiny pieces of DNA, once thought unimportant, to find new ways to treat this disease. Read more about this groundbreaking project made possible by your support: https://lnkd.in/egisr8iH --- We're proud to help fund Dr. Prensner's project with support from the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation and Violet’s Village, to bring new hope to kids and families fighting ATRT. 👨⚕️ John Prensner, University of Michigan Medical School

🎅 ‼️ NICE LIST ALERT ‼️ 🎅 Yesterday we had a wonderful holiday party at Microsoft - with employees participating in CureSearch for Children's Cancer's Notes of Hope program. These colorful cards will be brought to local pediatric oncology units, serving as little pockets of sunshine and providing words of encouragement for kids currently undergoing treatment.

We’re proud to introduce our latest funded researcher, Dr. Prensner of University of Michigan Medical School, whose groundbreaking work is made possible by your support! Dr. Prensner is tackling atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT), one of the most aggressive pediatric brain tumors. His innovative approach explores something entirely new: tiny pieces of DNA, once considered unimportant, that could hold the key to developing targeted treatments for this devastating disease. This research offers hope for families facing ATRT and is a critical step toward better outcomes for children with cancer. As part of CureSearch's growing co-funding model, the project is generously supported in part by the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation (JGCF) and Violet's Village: The Violet Kenney Legacy Fund at CureSearch.

As the chair of the CureSearch Utah Chapter, I had the privilege of organizing our first fundraising event for childhood cancer research at a local holiday market. This event was a true team effort, made possible by the incredible support of my fellow chair members: Julia Mills, M.A. (to my right), Steffi Lietzke (to my left), Brandon Hoyt, Richard Heinz, PhD (not pictured), and our community engagement manager, Lauren Rump. Together, we took an important step toward advancing research and making a difference for children battling cancer. #curesearch #childhoodcancer
