Welcome
Our Mission
The mission of the Curing Children’s Cancer Fund is to find a cure for childhood cancer by providing financial support for some of the country’s leading pediatric cancer researchers, including those at Texas Children’s Cancer Center. The results of the cutting-edge research are disseminated nationally and internationally, and benefit children throughout the world.
The Curing Children’s Cancer Fund (CCCF) was founded by people who are committed to helping physician-researchers discover a cure for all children with cancer.
Fortunately, more than 70% of children diagnosed with cancer will now survive, which is a stiking improvement over the 5% survival rate less than 50 years ago; however, for the parents of these children, as well as the physicians and others who care for them, these odds are not good enough.
From the President
Dear Friend,
My daughter, Maggie, was only four years old when she was diagnosed with cancer. I remember exactly where my wife and I were when the doctors told us that she had a Wilm’s Tumor and that they would begin treating her immediately. I recall the sting of the news that our daughter’s life was in danger and that she was facing a challenge that was far bigger than we ever could have anticipated.
