Since CURE’s beginnings in 1975, we have raised millions of dollars to advance promising research, lobbied for important legislation, and provided tangible support to thousands of children with cancer and their families.
CURE Childhood Cancer was founded in 1975 by Emory University pediatric oncologist, Dr. Abdel Ragab. Recruited from Washington University in St. Louis to head the new Division of Hematology/Oncology in Emory’s Department of Pediatrics, Dr. Ragab arrived in Atlanta as the city’s only pediatric oncologist, confronting skeleton staff, no research budget and two patients receiving infusions in converted closets. Lacking even basic tools such as a proper microscope, he was unable to diagnose different types of pediatric leukemia to determine the best course of treatment.
Dr. Ragab needed support to build a pediatric oncology research program. He first approached members of the Tri Delta sorority’s Atlanta Alumnae chapter and, later, parents of his patients about the need for a microscope. Within a short time, they raised the money to buy it for him while incorporating as a Georgia non-profit organization originally named CURE Childhood Cancer and Leukemia.
For the first few years, the childhood cancer research lab was located at Grady Hospital. But most of Dr. Ragab’s patients were being treated at Emory. In 1981, CURE provided a significant donation to establish a research lab on the Emory campus.

What an unforgettable night! 💛 At the Ring the Bell Benefit, we gathered to celebrate milestones, friendships, and the collective impact of a community committed to changing the future of childhood cancer. We were honored to recognize Alex and her family’s journey through childhood cancer. This December, Alex will ring the bell and head into the second half of her senior year! One of the evening’s most touching moments was the passing of the Heart of Gold Award from Hiram to Matthew, a tribute to the friendship they built during childhood cancer treatment and a reminder of the connections that can endure long after treatment ends. Guests were also moved by a beautiful performance from Lia, a childhood cancer survivor herself, whose song brought the room together in a special way. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, host committee, and attendees, we raised more than $163,000 for Reese’s Fund to advance lifesaving childhood cancer research and help create more bell-ringing moments for children with cancer. Thank you to everyone who made the evening so meaningful. Together, we’re celebrating today’s milestones while helping make more of them possible for children and families in the future. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch #RingTheBell

At Ring the Bell Benefit, one of the most special moments of the evening is the presentation of the Heart of Gold Award. 💛 Created in memory of Monica Sandoval, the award recognizes the extraordinary friendships that so often sustain children and families through childhood cancer. When Reese was fighting cancer at just 10 months old, Monica was like a big sister to her and many of the younger children she met during treatment. Even while facing her own cancer journey, Monica filled hospital days with joy, encouragement, and kindness, always making time to check in on others. Today, Monica's legacy lives on through an award that's passed from one recipient to the next, honoring those who show up for others with remarkable kindness. As we gather to support Reese's Fund, we also celebrate the friendships that emerge in hospital hallways, clinic waiting rooms, and treatment floors. For many children facing cancer, these relationships become a source of understanding, laughter, and strength during some of life's hardest moments. The Heart of Gold Award honors those extraordinary friends whose kindness leaves a lasting impact, just as Monica's did. 💛 A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsors—Voyles Automotive, Glover Park Brewery, Poole's Pharmacy, and Encore Hospitality Carpet—and our Gold and Silver Sponsors. Your support helps make Ring the Bell Benefit possible and allows Reese's Fund to continue supporting children with cancer and advancing critical childhood cancer research. #CUREChildhoodCancer #RingTheBellBenefit #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #Friendship #HeartofGold

Happy Halloween from CURE! 🎃🍬 A childhood cancer diagnosis can mean missing school parties, neighborhood trick-or-treating, and other moments that make childhood special. That's why CURE's Patient and Family Services team brought Halloween to the hospital this week, visiting children in Atlanta and Savannah for a reverse trick-or-treat and delivering treats, surprises, and smiles right to their rooms. Creating moments of joy and normalcy is an important part of helping families navigate childhood cancer, and we're grateful to celebrate Halloween with some incredible kids. 💛 A special thank you to Melanie Phillips for creating handmade trick-or-treat bags for our Savannah patients. Your thoughtfulness helped make the day even more memorable for the children and families we serve. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #Halloween #TrickorTreat #ChildhoodMemories #SavingChildhoodDreams

More than a decade ago, Lendmark Financial Services CEO Bobby Aiken watched a childhood friend navigate his son Chip's cancer treatment and decided to take action. That commitment became Climb to CURE, which raised an incredible $1.52 million this year to support childhood cancer research. Thanks to the dedication of Lendmark employees, their families, customers, and business partners, Climb to CURE has contributed more than $10 million to CURE since 2015. Every dollar raised supports precision medicine research, which seeks to match each child with the treatments most likely to be effective for their specific cancer. Thank you, Lendmark, for continuing to invest in a future with better treatments, fewer side effects, and more children reaching survivorship. Your partnership is helping change what's possible for kids with cancer and their families. #CUREChildhoodCancer #LendmarkClimbtoCURE #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch #PrecisionMedicine #ChildhoodCancerFamilySupport #CorporateSocialResponsibility #GivingBack #CommunityImpact

What happens when people who dedicate their lives to protecting others show up for children fighting cancer? A powerful display of service, generosity, and courage. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Columbus Firefighters Charity 5K this weekend. From firefighters who completed the race in full turnout gear, to law enforcement officers and military members who joined them, your commitment to serving others extended far beyond the finish line. We're honored that so many brave men and women who protect their communities chose to support equally brave children battling cancer. Every step taken and every dollar raised will help CURE fund critical childhood cancer research and provide support to children and families affected by cancer. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ColumbusGA #PublicService #ProudtoServe #FirstResponders #MilitaryCommunity

Five years ago, Emma was learning how to walk again. Today, she's celebrating five years cancer-free. 💛 When Emma was diagnosed in 2020, her family's world changed in an instant. After surgery to remove a spinal cord tumor, Emma faced not only a cancer diagnosis but also a spinal cord injury that required weeks of rehabilitation, a wheelchair, a leg brace, and countless hours of physical therapy. The challenges didn't stop there. Her tumor grew twice, requiring additional surgery and eventually 14 months of chemotherapy. Through every setback, Emma met each challenge with remarkable strength and determination. Now 18, Emma has turned her experience into a passion for helping others. From fundraising for CURE and volunteering at Lauren's Run, to serving with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Camp Sunshine, she is giving back to the community that supported her throughout her journey with a personal understanding of how funding research and supporting families in the hospital can make a difference in the lives of those facing childhood cancer.

🎗️ At 17, Alex was preparing for college applications and band performances... not six cycles of chemotherapy. When West Forsyth senior Alex was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma earlier this year, her world was put on pause. She endured 6 rounds of chemo, time away from her beloved marching band, and temporary hand numbness that kept her from her passion for drawing. Through it all, Alex showed us what true bravery looks like, backed by her amazing family (including her brother Carson, who shaved his head in solidarity!) and a sense of humor that kept everyone smiling. Today, Alex is officially finished with chemo, back at school, drawing again, and gearing up to ring the bell in December. To top it off, she is embracing her short post-chemo hair growth in the best way possible: by dressing up as Eleven from Stranger Things for Halloween! We are celebrating Alex and her family as our honored guests at the 7th Annual Ring The Bell Benefit on November 4th at Glover Park Brewery in Marietta. A special thank you to our 2026 Presenting Sponsors for making this celebration possible: Encore Hospitality Carpet (@encorehospitality), Voyles Automotive, Poole’s Pharmacy, and Glover Park Brewery (@gloverparkbrewery). We hope you can join us! ✨ Tap the link in our bio to grab your tickets to the benefit, make a donation in Alex’s honor, and read her full story on our blog. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #CancerWarrior #HodgkinLymphoma #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #GloverParkBrewery #RingTheBellBenefit #ChildhoodCancerResearch

Some of the strongest heroes are still small enough to be carried in their parents' arms. 💛 At just 18 months old, Zion was diagnosed with leukemia. Since then, his journey has included chemotherapy, relapse, CAR-T cell therapy, and a bone marrow transplant. Through every treatment, hospital stay, and setback, Zion continued to smile and show incredible strength. Today, Zion is in remission and continuing his recovery, reaching milestones that once felt far away. His family says Zion has taught them the true meaning of courage, resilience, and unconditional love. To them, he is a hero every single day, and every milestone is a reminder of how far he has come. Children like Zion are the heart of CURE's mission. Their stories inspire our work to support families facing childhood cancer and invest in research that leads to better treatment options and better outcomes for children everywhere.

Through it all, she's remained an adventurous kid who loves being outdoors and dreaming big about her future. Throughout Echo's cancer journey, Denise's family found support, community, and care through CURE. Today, she gives back as a Dream Maker, helping ensure other families have access to those same resources. "CURE has become family to us.

10 years ago, Mark Myers joined CURE with a purpose. Following the loss of his youngest daughter, Kylie, to Ewing sarcoma in 2015, he committed himself to fulfilling her final wish: find a cure so other children don't have to suffer as she did. Over the last decade, Mark has helped tell the stories of the children and families we serve, bringing our mission to life through digital content that helps others connect with our mission. He has also helped advance CURE's research mission, supporting the annual process in which CURE invests in the next generation of pediatric cancer researchers. Whether attending community fundraisers, supporting corporate partners, or helping colleagues behind the scenes, he consistently goes above and beyond to advance our mission. And as a fun piece of CURE history, he was also our first male staff member! Mark truly embodies the heart of CURE. Through his unwavering dedication, he continues to honor and fulfill Kylie’s wish, ensuring her legacy lives on in the lives of the children and families we serve. Thank you, Mark, for 10 years of service, passion, and purpose. We are incredibly grateful to have you on our team. 💛

Hope, friendship, and community were at the heart of this year’s Catie’s Gathering Bluffton-HHI. 💛 Together, attendees raised an incredible $93,000 for CURE Childhood Cancer, helping fuel the research and family support that children with cancer need. The evening featured the event’s signature themed tables, exciting auction experiences, and moving stories from local families whose daughters met during treatment and have remained friends as they continue their healing journeys. Every table, bid, sponsorship, volunteer hour, and act of generosity helped make this night possible. Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, and stood alongside families facing childhood cancer. We are so grateful to have you as part of the CURE community! #CUREChildhoodCancer #CatiesGathering #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

This weekend, Atlanta came together for children fighting cancer. 🎗️ The 13th Annual Believe Ball brought together advocates, partners, families, and supporters at The St. Regis Atlanta for an evening dedicated to advancing the future of childhood cancer research and supporting families through every stage of treatment and beyond. The program featured heartfelt remarks from Nicole and Colby Chiles about their son Grant’s story, recognition of childhood cancer survivor Matt Gephardt as the recipient of the Ragab Spirit of Hope Award, and the presentation of the Corporate Challenge Award to Novelis. As Dean Crownover energized the room through the live auction and Fund-a-CURE, our guests demonstrated the power of a community united by purpose. The celebration continued well into the evening with music from Papa Sol, dancing, and time spent together in support of CURE’s mission. Thank you to our sponsors, supporters, and volunteers for making this extraordinary evening possible. A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsors Delta Air Lines (@delta), Chicken Salad Chick Foundation (@chickensaladchickfoundation), and Novelis (@novelisinc). #CUREChildhoodCancer #BelieveBall2026

The heart of Catie's Gathering has always been carrying forward Catie Wilkins' legacy by supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer and advancing research that creates better outcomes. This evening, at the Bluffton-Hilton Head event, two local families will share the story of how their daughters—Ella and Micki—became friends while receiving treatment for leukemia. Micki was just four years old when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), while Ella faced acute myeloid leukemia (AML), months of hospitalization, and later a bone marrow transplant after her cancer returned. Instead of meeting on a playground, they met on the oncology floor. While undergoing treatment, they spent time together in the hospital playroom, building a friendship that helped carry them and their families through long hospital stays, uncertainty, and the many challenges that come with childhood cancer. Today, Micki has completed treatment, and Ella is celebrating one year in remission. Their milestones are a testament to the progress that has been made, but their story also serves as a reminder that thousands of children and families are still navigating the realities of a cancer diagnosis. Ella's and Micki's journeys underscore the purpose behind Catie's Gatherings: supporting families facing childhood cancer today through programs like financial assistance, counseling, and hospital support, and investing in research that can lead to better treatments for the children who will be diagnosed tomorrow. #CUREChildhoodCancer #CatiesGathering #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch #CommunitySupport

“When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it impacts the whole family.” 🎗️ Keltey’s story is a powerful reminder of that reality. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left pelvic bone in February 2026, Keltey’s treatment has included chemotherapy and a major surgery to remove the tumor and replace part of her pelvis with an implant. Today, she’s learning to walk again while looking forward to finishing treatment this fall and enjoying her senior year. Behind every child facing cancer is a network of family members walking beside them through every appointment, setback, and milestone. That’s why CURE’s Patient & Family Services team provides support tailored to each family’s needs, including meals in the hospital through the Open Arms Meal Program, professional counseling, and emergency financial assistance. These programs help ease the emotional, practical, and financial burdens that often accompany a childhood cancer diagnosis, allowing families to focus on what matters most: caring for their child. 💛 Learn more at curechildhoodcancer.org/keltey #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Over the weekend, we reflected on the life and legacy of Addison Lakely Tomberlin, known and loved by so many as Addy. Her bright spirit, infectious smile, and ability to bring joy to those around her continue to leave a lasting mark on everyone who knew her. Addy earned her wings in 2023, but her impact continues to be felt far beyond her time here. Today, we honor Addy's memory and the legacy that lives on through Addy's Army Fund. Established in her honor, the fund advances childhood cancer research with a focus on innovative treatments that are more effective and less harmful to growing bodies, while also supporting programs that care for children and families affected by childhood cancer. One of the most meaningful examples of Addy's enduring impact came earlier this month at the inaugural After Addy's Party. Thanks to an outpouring of support from the Amelia Island community, sponsors, donors, and attendees, more than $250,000 was raised in her memory to help children and families facing childhood cancer. As we reflect on Addy's life, we are grateful for the many people carrying her legacy forward. Through research funded, families supported, and a community united in her memory, her impact continues to reach children and families today. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerResearch #AddysArmy #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

1 in 4 families lose more than 40% of their household income during their child's treatment. CURE helps cover basic needs like rent, utilities, gas, and groceries. A childhood cancer diagnosis affects every part of a family's life, including their financial stability. Through its Family Emergency Fund, CURE provides emergency financial assistance to help ease the burden of ongoing treatment and the everyday expenses that don't stop when a child is diagnosed with cancer. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Village Burger (@villageburger) is helping support families when they need it most. Throughout September, guests can add a $1 or $5 donation to their order, with every contribution benefiting CURE and the children and families we serve.

"For children facing the toughest cancers, time matters." Kayla's story is a reminder of why children diagnosed today can't wait for better answers tomorrow. As she bravely battles Wilms tumor, Kayla continues to fill her days with the things she loves most: animals, art, music, and reading Junie B. Jones books. Her family describes her as a child who has faced cancer with courage, joy, and an incredible understanding of what she's going through. One day, she hopes to become a pediatric oncology nurse and help children facing cancer just as she is now. That's why CURE has invested $48 million in childhood cancer research over the past decade, supporting both near-term discoveries that can improve treatment sooner and breakthrough research aimed at the toughest cancers. Because children like Kayla can't wait for science that arrives too late.

Please join us in wishing Reese a very happy 11th birthday! 🎉💛 At just 10 months old, Reese was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant tumor at the base of her spine, and began a difficult journey through treatment at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. After surgery and months of care, she rang the bell in 2016, celebrating the end of treatment and a hard-fought victory. Today, Reese is an energetic 5th grader who keeps busy on the soccer field, strumming her guitar, taking the stage in school productions, and making the most of every moment that childhood has to offer. Through Reese’s Fund, Reese and her family are helping advance research for childhood solid tumors, honoring the medical team that saved her life and creating better outcomes for children facing cancer. As we celebrate Reese today, we're also grateful for the impact her story continues to make on childhood cancer research and the families it serves. 💛 Learn more about Reese's Fund on our website! #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodCancerSurvivor

"Behind every childhood cancer statistic is a child who dreams of growing up." Junie's story is a reminder that behind every diagnosis is a child with hopes, dreams, and a life far beyond cancer. A happy girl bravely fighting leukemia, Junie loves arts and crafts, the color pink, and poodles. She's currently obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters, especially the songs Golden and Million Pieces, and she dreams of becoming a doctor someday. Children like Junie deserve the opportunity to enjoy their childhood, pursue their passions, and grow up to achieve their dreams. That's why CURE funds innovative childhood cancer research that leads to better treatments while also providing families with the critical support they need throughout their child's cancer journey.

Today, we remember Anna Charles Hollis, a bright, spirited little girl whose life touched so many. Known to family and friends as “AC,” she brought sunshine, smiles, determination, and joy wherever she went. Though she lost her battle with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 2018, her positive influence continues to be felt. Established in her honor, the Anna Charles Hollis Fund supports research focused on AML and discoveries that may lead to better treatments and outcomes for children facing this cancer. As we honor Anna Charles today, we celebrate the lasting impact of her legacy. Through research, advocacy, and the generosity of those who support her fund, her story continues to drive progress for children diagnosed with AML and their families. 💛 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch

Today, Grant Chiles is celebrating 10 years cancer-free, but his family still remembers the day a simple concern became every parent's worst fear. As parents, Nicole and Colby Chiles never imagined a family outing would lead to a diagnosis that would change their lives forever. When they noticed Grant tilting his head, Nicole trusted her instincts and made a phone call. Less than 24 hours later, they heard the words no parent should ever have to hear: your child has a cancerous brain tumor. Grant underwent surgery to remove the tumor, but because of the type of tumor he had, he needed additional treatment to reduce the risk of it returning. Thanks to years of research and treatment advances, Grant's family had access to proton radiation, a therapy designed to more precisely target cancer while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Nicole recalls learning that many children facing cancer could not access proton therapy because of financial and logistical barriers. The realization was heartbreaking and underscored just how important continued investment in childhood cancer research truly is. Today, Grant's milestone is more than a celebration of survivorship. It's a testament to the power of research and changes what's possible for families facing the unimaginable. Research gave Grant options. It gave him a better future. And it continues to create new possibilities for children diagnosed today. At Believe Ball, we'll honor Grant's journey and celebrate the breakthroughs that are changing the future of childhood cancer, one child at a time. We are deeply grateful to our presenting sponsors, Delta Air Lines (@delta), Chicken Salad Chick (@chickensaladchick), and Novelis (@novelisinc), whose commitment to CURE's mission helps drive research forward and creates better outcomes for children and families facing childhood cancer. #BelieveBall #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

1 in 5 families face food insecurity while their child is in treatment. CURE serves more than 24,000 meals each year to hospitalized families. A childhood cancer diagnosis affects far more than a child's health. From meals at the hospital to other critical family support services, CURE works to help families focus on what matters most: their child. This September, we're grateful to Alpharetta Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics @alpharettachildrensdentistry for supporting that mission through its annual Coins4CURE fundraiser. What began with Dr. Mac in 2014 continues today as the ACDO family comes together to collect spare change and donations that make a meaningful difference for children with cancer and their families. 💛 Stop by ACDO's office and add to the coin jar, or donate online on their website. Every penny helps ensure families receive the support they need during some of life's most difficult moments. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #SupportingFamilies

For some children facing cancer, today's treatment options aren't enough. As Parker bravely battles leukemia, her story underscores the need for continued childhood cancer research. Described by her family as "the definition of resilience," Parker has faced treatment with remarkable bravery and joy. She loves the color pink, enjoys tumbling, and rarely misses a chance to stay active. Much like her favorite song, "Girl on Fire," she continues to approach each day with strength and determination. Children like Parker deserve to enjoy their childhood, explore their passions, and grow up to achieve their dreams. That's why CURE invests in innovative research and precision medicine, helping doctors better understand the unique biology behind each child's cancer and identify more personalized treatment options for a better and healthier future.

How can we stop leukemia from becoming resistant to treatment? Some of the most aggressive childhood leukemias are driven by changes in a gene called KMT2A. While newer drugs called menin inhibitors have shown promising results, leukemia cells can sometimes find ways to keep growing despite treatment. Dr. Resar’s research focuses on a protein called HMGA1, which appears to help leukemia cells survive even when these drugs are working. Her team is studying how HMGA1 causes treatment resistance and identifying existing drugs that could help restore the effectiveness of therapy. Learn more about her research on our website. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodLeukemia

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're celebrating brave children like Madison and investing in a brighter future for children and families facing cancer. In 2023, at just 18 months old, Madison’s life changed after what seemed like a simple fall led to an emergency room visit. Additional tests revealed chordoma, a rare cancer diagnosis that came just days before Christmas. In the months that followed, Madison endured chemotherapy and three surgeries, including one during which she went into cardiac arrest. Her final surgery was in April 2024, followed by seven weeks of proton radiation. In July 2024, Madison rang the bell. Today, Madison has been in remission for two years. She’s a thriving 4-year-old and enjoying preschool! Stories like Madison’s are why CURE funds critical pediatric cancer research and provides support for families facing childhood cancer. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we would love to honor your hero. Submit your story at the link in our bio.

Only 5% of federal cancer research funding is dedicated to childhood cancers, despite the urgent need for better treatments and healthier outcomes for children. CURE invests in research designed to improve treatments available to children today while advancing new approaches for cancers that still have few effective options. In 2026 alone, CURE is funding 17 research grants at leading institutions across the country totaling $5.7 million to help accelerate progress for children with cancer. This September, The Ice Cream Stop is helping make that progress possible. Every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., 15% of sales at its Richmond Hill, Pooler, Rincon, and Bluffton locations will support CURE's mission to fund lifesaving childhood cancer research and provide critical support for families navigating a diagnosis.

"For some children with cancer, today's treatments aren't enough." As Austin bravely fights against a brain tumor, his story underscores the need for new discoveries in childhood cancer research. Every child deserves better: treatments that are more effective, less toxic, and capable of targeting the cancers that currently have too few options. That's why CURE invests in innovative childhood cancer research. Over the last decade, CURE has invested millions of dollars in research designed to improve outcomes for children facing cancer, funding both discoveries that can impact treatment in the near future and research focused on the hardest-to-treat cancers that still don't have effective answers. In 2026 alone, CURE committed $5.7 million to 17 research projects across leading institutions throughout the country. From advancing more precise therapies with fewer long-term side effects to pursuing breakthroughs for cancers that still lack effective treatment options, CURE funds the research children need today and the discoveries that could change what's possible tomorrow. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodCancerWarriors

This month, we remember Mary Elizabeth Paris, whose determination in the face of unimaginable challenges left a lasting mark on everyone who followed her story. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at age 11, she endured years of treatment, multiple bone marrow transplants, and unimaginable complications with remarkable determination. Along the way, hundreds of thousands followed her journey, inspired by her resilience, her love for her family, and the way she continued to find joy even in the hardest moments. Her story brought widespread awareness to the realities of childhood cancer and continues to inspire action today. We also remember Melissa and Lake, two extraordinary children whose lives became forever connected to Mary Elizabeth through a shared diagnosis of AML and a friendship that united three families. Together, their legacies live on through the United for a CURE Fund, which supports critical AML research and helps advance better treatments for children facing this disease. Learn more about the impact of the United for a CURE Fund on our website at curechildhoodcancer.org. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch

"When your child has cancer, everything stops." For families like Maisy's, those words couldn't be more true. Maisy has faced aplastic anemia, a rare bone marrow failure syndrome, with remarkable resilience. Through countless procedures, transfusions, and life-threatening complications, she continues to meet each day with gratitude and a smile. Even while living in isolation as she heals, she finds joy in the everyday moments and inspires everyone around her with her bright spirit. As her parents share, "To know Maisy is to love her. She's sunshine, sparkle, and magic in human form." While treatment becomes a family's entire focus, daily responsibilities don't disappear. That's where CURE steps in, providing meals in the hospital, emergency financial assistance, counseling, and support tailored to each family's needs. Because caring for a child with cancer means supporting the people standing beside them, too. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

We recently observed the anniversary of the passing of Anna Hanger, an extraordinary young woman whose kindness and selflessness continues to inspire us today. After facing a brain tumor diagnosis, years of treatment, and significant long-term health challenges, Anna remained focused on helping others. When friends and family asked what they could do for her, she encouraged them to give to other children with cancer instead. That generosity became Anna’s Angel Fund, which has provided support to countless families and has raised more than $600,000 for children affected by pediatric cancer. Anna’s legacy lives on through the lives she touched and the example she set. Her compassion, resilience, and commitment to making life better for others continue to remind us of the extraordinary impact one person can have. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

One doctor's vision. Countless lives impacted. 💛 On Dr. Abdel Ragab's birthday, we celebrate the physician whose vision helped transform childhood cancer care in Georgia and laid the foundation for what would become CURE Childhood Cancer. When Dr. Ragab arrived in Atlanta in 1975 as the city's only pediatric oncologist, he faced enormous challenges. With limited resources, no research budget, and even a lack of basic equipment needed to diagnose childhood cancers, he knew more was needed for children and families facing a diagnosis. Determined to build a pediatric oncology research program, Dr. Ragab turned to the community for support. Members of the Atlanta Alumnae chapter of Tri Delta and parents of his patients came together to fund the purchase of a microscope needed to advance childhood cancer care. Their efforts led to the creation of a Georgia nonprofit that would eventually become CURE Childhood Cancer. More than 50 years later, Dr. Ragab's impact continues to be felt in remarkable ways: 💛 Kate Bellamy, CURE's Coordinator for Patient & Family Services and a childhood cancer survivor, was once one of Dr. Ragab's patients. Decades later, he still kept a framed photo of the two of them in his office in Egypt. 🎗Recently, our Patient & Family Services team in Savannah met a nurse practitioner whose aunt was treated by Dr. Ragab after being diagnosed with childhood cancer in the late 1970s. These connections are a powerful reminder that Dr. Ragab's influence extends far beyond the organization he founded. It lives on in survivors, families, healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates working to improve outcomes for children with cancer. As we recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're grateful for the vision that started it all and for the countless lives that continue to be changed because one physician believed children with cancer deserved more. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerResearch

Through Open Arms, families receive a meal during some of their longest and most difficult days in the hospital. Recently, several meal sponsorships have come from families who know that journey firsthand and who have chosen to turn their love for someone special into support for others. We are deeply grateful to the families of Kathy Marder, Justin Leonard, Nina Thomson, and Henry Grossenbacher, who sponsored meals in honor of their loved ones. Kathy's family shared that she "was a joy and an inspiration to many" and that she would be happy to know they continue giving back to help other families. Nina's family remembers her as a bright, compassionate, and talented young woman who loved cooking, sharing meals, and bringing people together. Henry's family sponsored lunches on what would have been his 7th birthday, hoping to take one thing off another family's plate after experiencing firsthand the support CURE provided during his treatment. To the families who continue showing up for others while honoring those you love, thank you. Your generosity creates moments of comfort for families walking a path you know all too well, and your loved ones' legacies continue to touch lives in meaningful ways. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #OpenArmsMealProgram #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

Rhea's resilience and determination, along with her love for the game of softball, are just a few of the reasons we're honored to celebrate her at Catie's Gathering Bryan County. 💛 Last year, Rhea was honored at CURE's Believe Ball. Around the same time, her family received difficult news: her cancer had relapsed, and they were faced with important treatment decisions as they searched for the best path forward. Today, thanks to a clinical trial and the research behind it, her family reports that she has no active cancer detected. She's back on the softball field doing what she loves. Her mom says watching her return to the game was one of the most meaningful moments of their family's journey. When asked about her future, Rhea keeps it simple: get better, keep working hard, and one day play softball in college. Stories like Rhea's are why events like Catie's Gathering matter. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation helps fund childhood cancer research and provide support for families navigating cancer treatment. Join us in Bryan County as we celebrate children like Rhea and invest in a future where more kids can get back to being kids. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerWarrior #CatiesGathering #CatiesFund #CatiesGatheringBryanCounty

On National Nonprofit Day, we're reflecting on the work that brings our mission to life every day. At CURE, we believe no family should have to navigate childhood cancer alone. Through every stage of the journey, we are committed to providing resources that help children with cancer and their families feel supported when they need it most. At the same time, we believe children fighting cancer deserve better. We're investing in research that is expanding what's possible for children diagnosed today and in the future. Every breakthrough and new discovery brings us closer to better treatments and outcomes for kids with cancer. Our dual-mission is at the heart of everything we do, and is made possible because of the community that stands alongside us. 💛🎗 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #NationalNonprofitDay

Today, we remember Jesselyn "JessZilla" Silva. A gifted young boxer with an unforgettable spirit, Jesselyn inspired everyone around her with her determination, confidence, and courage. After being diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer, she faced challenges far greater than any opponent she encountered in the ring, becoming an advocate and inspiration to others along the way. On the anniversary of her passing, we remember a remarkable young girl whose legacy lives on through the JessZilla Fund at CURE Childhood Cancer. Created by her family in her honor, the fund supports research for childhood brain cancers DMG and DIPG, helping advance the search for better treatments for children diagnosed with these rare and aggressive brain tumors. Today and every day, we honor Jesselyn by carrying her fighting spirit forward and investing in research that can change the future for children facing these diseases. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch
