Cures Within Reach

On June 25th, 24 players will swing their way through 1400 holes of golf at Green Acres Country Club to raise $60,000 for research into new treatments for pediatric brain tumors through Chicago’s philanthropic organization, Partnership for Cures.

Partnership for Cures, through the hard work and financial support of its Noah’s Hope Batten Disease research fund, recently committed $47,000 in support of clinical research conducted by Dr. Ronald Crystal at Weill Cornell Medical College.

Noah’s Hope, housed under Partnership for Cures, recently received a 10k grant from the Tellabs Foundation. The funds support research defining biomarkers within the LINCL Batten Disease progression, a rare and deadly genetic pediatric disease.

The 2011 Patient Impact Initiative funded 4 Rediscovery Research projects to impact patients in the next 3 years through clinical trials that repurpose existing therapies to create new treatments for different diseases.
