Chase After a Cure is a Non Profit Corporation dedicated
to children's cancer research. We are a group of
volunteers
lead by the Ringler Family who have committed their time and efforts to
raise money and awareness for Neuroblastoma. One
problem
all childhood cancer patients face is the lack of money for research.
We are thankful there are not more children diagnosed with cancer.
However, the relatively low number of diagnoses means that finding new
treatments for childhood cancer are not profitable for drug
companies. Neuroblastoma is an "orphan" cancer;
pharmaceutical
companies are not developing new treatments because there is not a
large enough patient base to make development profitable. Funding from
the government is similarly limited. Time is running out for many of
our children -- money stands between them and a cure. How can
you
put a price on a child’s life…our children are our future.
