advocacy is needed for better treatments and cures
Gold Rush Cure Foundation visits Washington DC and joins other community partners at least twice a year to advocate for cures and better treatments for children fighting cancer. We lend our voice to legislative actions as well as other research conferences and events to advocate for children to be considered in the process.
Work in alignment with coalition & alliances
Share experiences and connect families with decision makers
Provide support for state and local collaboration efforts
children fighting cancer deserve better
federal advocacy
The National Cancer Institude only designates less than 4% to childhood cancer research. This isn't enough.
targeted therapies
Children fighting cancer are being treated with therapies fifty years old. This is needs to change.
community collaboration
We work as a team to collaborate and make a difference because we need more voices.
increased funding for kids
From pharmaceutical development to clinical trials, more funding needs to be designated for kids.
we align with those who fight and make a difference
sandy barker
She wasn’t given a choice. Her son Christian was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and experienced a difficult journey of treatment, therapies and faced two transplants. Sandy’s story and experience led her to advocate on the Hill to bring change to an under-funded disease within research and support.
Sandy has made over 26+ trips to Washington DC. She is a frequent speaker at regenerative medicine events and seeks to bring better therapies to the clinic for children fighting cancer.
