I get angry everyday over the toxicity of childhood cancer drugs. Beans died of an infection she got while on harsh chemo. Everyday, we personally hear of more treatment deaths or complications.

Please support us in our quest for better treatments TeamBeansMarathon.com

You do it to save your kid's life. You have no other choice. But kids come last to the world of drug development. If you've ever seen a child suffer through chemo, you can't be the same person after it. TeamBeansMarathon.com

I wish I could adequately explain to people how much of a huge difference the money being fundraised to the Infant Brain Tumor Program makes. TeamBeansMarathon.com #InternationalChildhoodCancerDay

Just today I was on a call with the head of the program of all of the amazing labs and research at Dana-Farber this money is going to. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars for clinical trials and research that wouldn’t be there without you! TeamBeansMarathon.com

Infant brain cancer is extremely under refunded in terms of the money needed. Clinical trials and re-search takes years they cost hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars. Some doctors spend upwards of 70% of the time hunting for funding instead of in their labs.
