Dear Friends,
I think we can all agree that this past year was unlike any other. Despite the challenges, Bridge To A Cure Foundation has had a momentous year, and I look forward to sharing our progress and plan for 2022.
So let me get right to the point.
Brain tumors are the number one cause of death in children. The deadliest of all cancers. Our goal is to cure pediatric brain tumor cancer by 2030. If we do, we achieve our mission.
Admittedly, this is an audacious goal, since there has never been a drug developed to cure childhood brain tumor cancer. So how can a small nonprofit accomplish what large institutions with the best scientific minds have not? How can Bridge To A Cure Foundation dramatically improve the current state of childhood cancer?
We are succeeding by establishing a network of institutions committed to accelerating access to full data sets that researchers require for scientific discovery that leads to cures.
The pages that follow substantiate how our strategies and plans will accelerate discovery of childhood cancer cures. None of these tremendous strides forward would have been possible without our partnership organizations and engaged coalition of supporters. If you aren’t already taking part, we invite you to help us accelerate the realization of cures for childhood cancer.
Thank you — big time,
Robert Martin
Founder & President
OUR INSPIRATION
Foundation president Robert Martin’s granddaughter Clara Ely was just six years old in 2017 when she lost her battle with a form of brain cancer. Her remarkable courage and optimistic spirit continue to inspire the work of Bridge To A Cure Foundation.
