Any comments about your selections you would like to share with the student philanthropists?
It started with just one child. It started with just one heart. Today, The Cure Starts Now Cancer Research Foundation (501c3 Federal Non-Profit) is one of the only cancer foundations dedicated to a “homerun” cure for all cancers, starting first with one of the most deadly and difficult cancers: pediatric brain cancer. Many experts believe that the lessons we learn from fighting pediatric cancer may in fact provide us the critical first step in winning the battle against all forms of cancer, both pediatric and adult.

The Cure Starts Now represents a revolutionary new strategy in cancer research; one that fights cancer not according to numbers but instead based on knowledge and research. And isn’t that the way we’ll ultimately win the battle? The Cure Starts Now’s mission is one that knows no boundaries and stops at no borders. It is an international effort of families, friends, businesses and even strangers, united in the desire to cure cancer. And it all started with one child, but today the inspiration is carried with us all.

We are rebels, attacking cancer like no one has before; through collaboration and funding those research grants that no one else will fund. Connected through the horrible reality of our children diagnosed with the deadliest cancers, over 1,000 cancer families from around the world are united in fighting cancer by funding vital and groundbreaking research.
