  We are committed to access and equity in pediatric cancer care. Our mission is to partner with pediatric cancer families to take the logistical stress out of finding a cure for their child. We imagine a world where no family has to decide the fate of their child based on where they live, how much money they make, or how they identify. Every child has an equal right to a cure. Every family has the right to stay together. We are committed to access and equity in pediatric cancer care.
