Our Mission
Just a few years ago, we thought cancer was an adult disease. We never knew a child with cancer. And then things changed. Timmy, was diagnosed with an inoprable brain tumor. There would be so much to learn and understand to help him.
Timmy's Tour de Shore
The Tour de Shore is our annual fund raising event for Pediatric Brain Tumor Research. Find out more...
WelcomeOur missions is to support pediatric brain tumor research, and encourage nursing as a career. About Research Research is the key that will lead to better and more effective treatments of pediatric brain tumors. Pediatric and adult tumors and cancers are not alike. Dedicated research is needed so that some day there is a world where brain tumors and cancer do not exist in children.About Nursing Nurses are an integral part of the health care team. Nurses, working in concert with oncologists provide direct support to children battling cancer. Nurses were a big support system to our family when Timmy was battling his disease. Because of this, the Foundation provides nursing scholarships so that we may help encourage high students pursue this field of study.
