Donor Tributes

When a child’s life ends too soon, donating tissue is a way for the child and family to take a final stand against cancer.

This Gift from a Child is precious and rare.

We are inspired by the children who have donated tissue and make our work possible.

Remembering Our Children

Why Families Donate

“Autopsy tissue is absolutely critical if we want to cure more children with pediatric brain tumors. The biology of the tumor changes over time, and quite obviously the tumor at the time of death is the tumor that evaded therapy. It’s this tumor we need to learn about in order to treat it so that in future we will not need autopsies.”

– Michael Taylor MD, PhD at Texas Children’s Hospital
