Cure4Cam Childhood Cancer Foundation

The Cure4Cam Childhood Cancer Foundation supports the development of new, more effective and safer therapies to treat childhood cancer. Today’s standard treatments can be highly toxic, creating intolerable side effects and causing lasting health issues. Cure4Cam was founded in honor of Cameron Evans, a top runner for his middle school cross country team with a passion for technology, who, only days after competing in a middle school championship cross country race, was diagnosed with leukemia. After a tough fight, Cameron passed away at age 14. The Cure4Cam Foundation raises money to fund new and innovative cancer research to develop therapies that target individual cancer cells.
