I am very proud to announce the creation of the Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund at Dana Farber to benefit the newly-created Infant Brain Tumor Center at Dana Farber/Boston Children's Hospital.

TeamBeansFund.com
Since Francesca's death, we raised more than $820,000 to benefit the new Infant Brain Tumor Program at Dana Farber.

This program will be a place where top doctors and researchers come together in an effort to find better cancer treatments for babies with brain cancer.
Though Francesca will never get to experience the life she should have, with your support we have created a lasting legacy for our daughter.

We've sent a goal of raising $1 million by year's end.

To get this campaign started, we have personally donated $15,000 today.
We miss Francesca tremendously every day. We will always be her parents and our efforts to fight childhood cancer are a way of staying true to our responsibility to take care of her.
We would be so honored if you would join us in supporting this effort.

Even the smallest gift helps -- we have raised $50,000 in gifts under $30 alone. Three people donated $1. The average donation was $74.

We are grateful for every single cent.

If you donated to our Pan Mass Challenge page, please check your email for a thank you note from Rachel and myself.
While all funds to donate to our PMC Teams will make there way to this fund by year's end, any money donated through our fund page will immediately benefit the Infant Brain Tumor Program.

If you don't mind me sharing a random story about some very good people.

When I was in Boston, my wife and I went out to dinner at @BleacherBar, a restaurant outside Fenway Park with Francesca between chemotherapy treatments.

We sat outside and were the only ones there.
This was October 2020 and they didn't have many customers.

It was our first time eating out during the pandemic.

The waiter noticed our hats – Rachel had on a Yankees hat, I had a on Rays hat. He made a joke about wearing them at Fenway Park.
We told him were there for our daughter's cancer treatments and he expressed how sorry he was.

Even though they didn't have many customers they gave us our meal for free. We told them we wanted to pay, but they wouldn't let us.

I spoke candidly with @StatNews about our experience with pediatric cancer and what we are doing to help push for more research money and new legislation that will significantly increase funding for pediatric diseases.

statnews.com/2021/03/22/wha…
“You might see ads on TV, where you see a smiling kid who’s bald, and people think pediatric cancer is no longer a problem. But it’s a big, big problem. And Francesca’s experience is what motivates me — to make sure that we can do everything we can.”

statnews.com/2021/03/22/wha…
"I think that last month in the ICU is what motivates me to become an activist for pediatric cancer funding and legislation. People need to know that kids get cancer, and kids get brain cancer, and people need to know that a lot of these kids die from it."
