Pediatric Brain Cancer Research Teams receive over $4.5 million dollars
Cincinnati, OH— December 11—The Cure Starts Now Foundation continues to grow and continues to lead the worldwide effort to eradicate all cancers with the Homerun Cure™.
Chairman of the Board of Directors Keith Desserich recently announced the foundation would be funding 19 grants this grant cycle valued at $4,540,000.
"This was the largest grant cycle we have seen in our 15 years and highlights that our Homerun Strategy is working. While we are excited that we are seeing more grant requests and setting records funding these qualified grants, there are still 3 grants sitting on my desk that are yellow lighted until we see about $350,000 in additional funding support. Our efforts are working and the medical community is doing some amazing work."

"It is not just us alone. Our chapters, ambassador families, and supporters are all working together so we can fund more research and take care of more families. We like to live up to our tagline ‘family never fights alone’ and we are here for all the families that have fought or are currently in the fight." - Brooke Desserich, co-founder and Executive Director
