May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month. The Cure Starts Now Foundation is looking for your support to spread the word about brain tumor awareness to increase funding for research initiatives to find the "homerun cure” for cancer.
Originally started in 2007 in tribute to a local 6-year-old girl named Elena Desserich and her fight against brain cancer, The Cure Starts Now has funded over $2,000,000 in research, awareness and programs in just seven short years. With its focus on a “homerun cure” for all cancers, many experts believe that the lessons we learn from fighting pediatric brain cancer may in fact provide us with the critical first step in winning the battle against all forms of cancer, both pediatric and adult.

“This represents our very best chance of advancing cancer research decades into the future by capturing the homerun spirit that originally cured so many cancers over 50 years ago. Too often, we tend to fight cancer as individual diseases, ignoring both the commonalities and the very experts that see possibilities and cure strategies that can affect all cancers, and thereby affect us all,” says Keith Desserich, Chairman and Co-Founder of The Cure Starts Now Foundation.
