Read on for another reason I donate 20% of the cost of every kit sold from my store, all year long, to my September GREAT CYCLE CHALLENGE fundraiser for the CHILDREN’S CANCER RESEARCH FUND https://greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/CaroleKhoury
When 8-year-old Eva’s smile began to droop and she lost hearing in one ear, Eva’s family never fathomed a devastating cancer diagnosis . . .
But diffuse midline glioma (DMG), an incurable brain tumor, is what was causing Eva’s symptoms. Children typically live just 9 to 13 months after diagnosis.
Yet, thanks to your generosity, Eva was part of something extraordinary: Fewer than a dozen children are participating in a groundbreaking clinical trial—the culmination of nearly 20 years of research funded by caring friends like you.
Instead of harsh chemotherapy, this innovative treatment uses targeted injections designed to break through the tumor’s “protein shield,” combined with a new vaccine approach.
And because you’re committed to accelerating research, Eva can make every moment count—going to school, taking dance and more.
“We hope with this trial, we can give kids more time, and we can give our child more time,” says Eva’s mother, Sandra. “Maybe this can be the starting point for a cure.”
Someday, when a cure is found, it will be part of Eva’s legacy . . . and yours.
Your support fuels the science. You bring researchers, clinicians and families together in this fight. Most of all, you give families like Eva’s something priceless: more time.
Thank you for believing breakthroughs are possible—and for making them possible.
