WHEN A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED WITH A BRAIN OR SPINAL CORD TUMOR, THE WHOLE FAMILY NEEDS A SPECIAL KIND OF CARE AND SUPPORT. MAKING HEADWAY FOUNDATION WAS CREATED IN REPSONSE TO THIS NEED. OUR HUMANISTIC SUPPORT PROGRAMS SUPPORT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM DIAGNOSIS THROUGH TREATMENT AND BEYOND. THE FOUNDATION IS ALSO COMMITTED TO FUNDING MEDICAL RESEARCH SO BETTER TREATMENTS AND CURES CAN BE FOUND.
MAKING HEADWAY FOUNDATION MAINTAINS A UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH NYU LANGONE MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS STEPHEN D HASSENFELD CHILDRENS CENTER FOR CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS. EACH GRANT THAT IS FUNDED IS SELECTED BASED ON ITS ABILITY TO PROVIDE HUMANISTIC SUPPORT TO PATIENT FAMILIES WHILE SEARCHING FOR IMPROVED TREATMENTS AND EVENTUALLY A CURE. GRANTS WERE ALSO AWARDED TO MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER (MSKCC), ST BALDRICK'S FOUNDATION (SBF) AND PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR FOUNDATION.
