"We support the best childhood cancer research. We believe children deserve a chance to grow up"
WHO WE ARE
The Ronan Foundation is a volunteer-run organization focused solely on funding more effective treatments for childhood cancer. We are inspired by a beautiful little boy, Ronan, who lost his life just days before his 4th birthday to neuroblastoma. We strongly believe that all children deserve a chance to grow up and are fighting to make this a reality for all children fighting cancer.
Here is the harsh reality: Less than 4% of federal funding goes to research treatments for 12 different childhood cancers. More than 94% of research initiatives go unfunded. Parents and small organizations like us are the leaders in funding new treatments for the littlest ones in our society.
