During the past five years, I have talked, met and cried with hundreds of families whose children have neuroblastoma. I regret that many of these families have lost their children to this battle. We started an organization in memory of Michael in hopes of making a difference. During the last five years we have provided hundreds of families with resource handbooks, quarterly newsletters and internet exchange, empowering families with information, the latest on treatments, available resources, etc. However, we have had an uphill fight to achieve pediatric research.
Pediatric cancer receives a small fraction of research dollars compared to others.
