Recognizing the signs and symptoms of a pediatric brain tumor can be challenging, especially since they vary depending on the tumor's location and size. Some children may be too young to communicate what's wrong, while others might not recognize the symptoms themselves.

If your child has been recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is here to support you and your family. We offer a plethora of resources including our Newly Diagnosed Resource Guidebook which provides practical tools and information to help you stay informed and organized.

A key challenge in treating pediatric brain tumors is the lack of accurate drug testing models, limiting treatment options and survival rates. To address this, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is proud to fund a project using patient-derived organoids (PDOs). These "mini-tumors," grown from a child’s tumor tissue, enable researchers to test therapies quickly and accurately, delivering results in weeks instead of months.

This game-changing platform has the potential to transform how we discover and deliver personalized treatments, bringing real hope to children and families facing brain tumors.

Wishing a happy 19th birthday to Joseph!!! This is a milestone that doctors once believed he might never see. Since being diagnosed with Grade IV Glioblastoma Multiforme in January 2023, just two months after his 16th birthday, Joseph has been courageously fighting for his life every single day.
In less than three (almost) years, he has endured more than most people face in a lifetime, including multiple brain surgeries, rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, and constant, debilitating pain. Through it all, Joseph’s strength, determination, and will to keep living his teenage years to the fullest have been nothing short of inspiring. One of the few things that brings him comfort and joy is playing video games. He’s been dreaming of getting the ROG Xbox Ally X (or ROG Xbox Ally | Xbox) to help him escape, even for a little while, from the challenges he faces daily.
If you can, or would like to, you can make a donation to help Joseph’s birthday wish come true and continue supporting him in his fight. Every contribution, no matter the size, means the world to him and his family. You can use GoFundMe(scan the QR code in the image, or find the link in my bio and stories) or through Cash App, listed below.
Thank you for standing with Joseph!

For many Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) cancer survivors, finishing treatment means facing new challenges—ongoing side effects, financial strain, and the struggle to feel “normal” again. Too often, this age group falls through the cracks of survivorship care.

That’s why Jabs for Life is dedicated to showing up after treatment by sponsoring AYAs at events that bring laughter and community back into their lives. This year, we’ve provided race entries for the Navy Bay Bridge Run and Half Marathon, tickets to hockey games and comedy shows, and even hosted our AYA Facials with Friends events to bring survivors and caregivers together.

👉 The next Facials with Friends event for AYAs and caregivers is happening November 8!

Your donation helps us continue creating these experiences that remind AYAs they’re not alone after cancer.

Glioblastoma affects an estimated 4 males per 100,000 each year, making it the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults. While this number may seem small, its impact on patients, families, and communities is profound.⁠

At the Glioblastoma Research Organization, we’re committed to raising funds to help advance research, raising awareness, and driving change so that those diagnosed with GBM can have improved outcomes and support. Learn more about how we’re driving change at gbmresearch.org.
