Brain tumors affect the most innocent of all victims, children who want to grow up and dream of a future. It strikes with little warning and no mercy. Often, by the time a diagnosis is made, it is already too late. There are often no options. Why? There is no cure.

There are over 120 different types of brain tumors. Brain tumors have no socio-economic boundaries and do not discriminate among gender or ethnicity. There are currently no know causes of brain tumors.

3,500 children are diagnosed with some form of a brain tumor every year in this country. 40% or 4 out of 10 of these children will die. 75% are under the age of 15.

Cancer kills more children than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and AIDS. Brain tumors are the most deadly of all childhood cancers.

Brain tumors research is underfunded and the public remains unaware of the magnitude of this disease. The cure rate for most brain tumors is significantly lower than for many other types of cancer.
