Every living person has a moral responsibility to every other person. Human beings are the only species with the ability to act upon the empathy we feel. Even if you are unable to provide material support, please learn more and inform others of the need to support these critical programs. Every contribution brings us closer to a world where every child has a chance to grow up free of these terrible afflictions.

Ending Neurofibromatosis
|
|
Founder and entertainer Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude in 1962 with the dream that “no child should die in the dawn of life." Since 1962, St. Jude has helped increase the survival rate for childhood cancer from 20% to 80%. Over the next decade, we’re working to drive that number to 90%. We need your help to reach this milestone in cancer care.
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay. |
The Children's Tumor Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to finding effective treatments for the millions of people worldwide living with neurofibromatosis (NF), a term for three distinct disorders: NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis. NF causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and can lead to blindness, bone abnormalities, cancer, deafness, disfigurement, learning disabilities, and excruciating and disabling pain.
NF affects one in every 3,000 people, more than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and Huntington’s disease combined. The Children’s Tumor Foundation funds critical research into neurofibromatosis. In addition to benefiting those who live with NF, this research is shedding new light on several forms of cancer, brain tumors, bone abnormalities, and learning disabilities, ultimately benefiting the broader community. |
15% of all profits from every book or story sold by Taylor Dunn is donated to these charities.
