The Cure Starts Now's Tribute Funds

Katie Schafer's Fundraiser

My beautiful 14 year old daughter, a competition dancer, went from doing turns and flips on the dance floor in July to having blinding headaches and not being able to walk down the hall in September.  After a few weeks of treating migraines (without giving her any relief), my husband insisted the doctor order more tests. An MRI was done on a Thursday and the next day she had surgery (a biopsy and to drain fluid).  Now she is mostly confined to a wheelchair because she has no balance.  She is beginning her fourth week of radiation today, 11/8/21. 

Thank you for choosing to donate to The Cure Starts Now Foundation. 100% of this donation, after credit card processing fees, goes directly towards research to find the homerun cure for cancer starting with pediatric brain cancer research.

If you would like to make a donation by mail please send a check to:  The Cure Starts Now Foundation; 10280 Chester Road; Cincinnati, OH 45215 and put the child's name in the memo.
