"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.
