Rainbows of Hope

This is a major and on-going fund raiser to support research. Brochure can be viewed on website. Our goal is to fund $2,000 for 35 patients to participate in a study called “Saving Lives, Saving Neurons: The Head Start Program for Young Children with Malignant Brain Tumors.” It is one of the highest profile treatment protocals for young children and has been developed by Dr. Jonathan Finlay, Neuro-Oncology, Los Angeles Childrens Hospital. Institutions around the world share in the research – a breakthrough will improve survival rates and minimize damage. We need your help!
