SUPPORT & RESOURCES
The Children's Brain Tumor Family Foundations strives to provide support to families that are facing the challenge and difficult journey of a diagnosis of a brain tumor. We look to connect people who are undergoing similar treatments or have children of similar ages and situations. We hope to point people to reliable and reputable sources of information and support.
Lastly, we aim to help them understand the research programs underway and trials that may be available to them and we provide the infrastructure and support they need should they wish to direct the funds raised by efforts undertaken locally towards the children's brain tumor project.
