Children with cancer can’t wait.

The current pediatric healthcare system is slow, isolated, and fragmented.

A more tailored, compassionate, and transparent approach to treating pediatric cancer is desperately needed. That's why Beat Childhood Cancer is vigilantly creating solutions that break down silos and build up hope for every child, everywhere.

Children with cancer can’t wait.

The current pediatric healthcare system is slow, isolated, and fragmented. We know, because we have experienced it ourselves.

A more tailored, compassionate, and transparent approach to treating pediatric cancer is desperately needed. That's why Beat Childhood Cancer is vigilantly creating solutions that break down silos and build up hope for every child, everywhere.

Here's How:

Child-centric Treatments

Our approach centers on treating every child’s specific type of cancer in a tailored way, using effective drugs that already exist to prioritize their immediate needs and comforts while safeguarding their long term health, growth, and quality of life.

Novel Research

We’re making progress because we give researchers the freedom to do what’s best for kids, instead of chasing grants that force isolation and slow progress. Our novel treatment pathways are child-informed, not just cancer informed.

Options Close to Home

Distance should never be the determining factor of a child’s chances of survival. Our growing network of doctors, researchers, and hospital partners is ensuring that every patient has access to the right options at the right time, and as close to home as possible.

Our Mission & Vision

Beat Childhood Cancer drives childhood cancer research and raises awareness, making a difference in kids’ survival today. Our vision is to change the story for the next family by finding viable treatments and ultimately, cures for childhood cancers.

We will never give up

All too often, hope is just a word tossed around or a statement for encouragement. But at Beat Childhood Cancer, we believe our hope is our strength, our superpower, and our ultimate defense. 
 
No parent should ever hear the words, "There's nothing else we can do. Go home and make your child comfortable." That's not acceptable. That will never be acceptable in our minds. If a child is alive, there must always be hope. Period. That's what we are fighting for.

Instead of treating cancer by its name, we treat it by its nature.

The IN:Formation Project uses advanced genomic sequencing to reveal the mechanics, drivers, and targets in your child's tumor. No two tumors are the same and by participating in the IN:Formation Project, tumor information won't just sit in a research database, it will be actively used to find the most effective and/or alternative treatment options.
