Organization Details

Solving Kids? Cancer was created by parents with a first-hand understanding of the current landscape in pediatric oncology where the system that is in place to serve kids afflicted with the deadliest forms of pediatric cancer is failing. Survivorship for these cancers is a mere 30%, a rate that has not improved in 30 years. This is an unacceptable survivorship rate. Without a coordinated and focused understanding and sense of mission with regards to solving this problem, the system will remain not just ineffectual, but completely broken.

Solving Kids? Cancer has been created not as a conventional charity but as a non-profit enterprise that manages and funds a new model in therapeutic development for pediatric cancer. We began by imagining the ultimate goal - improving survivorship for kids - then worked backward to create a plan. Solving Kids? Cancer does not attempt to transform the existing system through advocacy and awareness efforts. We believe in changing the system by facilitating the research and development process through our scientific programming. SKC envisions a system that serves cancer kids immediately, while simultaneously embarking on daring research projects that lead to curative therapies once and for all.
