ALDI

An inspiring way to kick off the giving season, Giving Tuesday is a global charity movement, a worldwide day of giving, and one of the most important chances of the year to help kids with cancer through ALSF. Thanks to donors like you, the number of FDA-approved treatments for childhood cancers have more than doubled since the first ALSF grant was given in 2005. 

Give to continue to help kids reach their cures on Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

Jude Oches 

Right now, 6-year-old Jude is learning to live life with a prosthetic eye – the best chance he had to become cancer-free. When Jude was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at a mere 9 months old, doctors said they had caught his cancer early. Unfortunately, because Jude was still a baby, the standard chemotherapy treatment scarred the tissue in the artery behind his eye. After further failed attempts to shrink the tumor, the only course forward was clear: Jude needed his eye removed. Thankfully, with the removal of his eye, the cancer left too! Learn more about Jude.

Ailani Myers 

Right now, 8-year-old Ailani is enjoying third grade and hoping that her leukemia is gone, for good. Ailani was 2 years old when she was diagnosed with leukemia that had a rare, hard-to-treat mutation. For the next six years, Ailani would endure two bone marrow transplants and clinical trial after clinical trial as her parents hoped, prayed, and looked for a cure. Ailani's first time in school was last year – and midway through, she relapsed, again. She began her fourth CAR-T cell therapy. Now, while she attends third grade, her parents watch, wait and pray that her next bone marrow biopsy in December shows no evidence of disease and that this treatment is finally her cure. Learn more about Ailani.

Brynn

Right now, 10-year-old Brynn is dreaming of her next Taylor Swift concert and celebrating three years cancer-free after a brain tumor relapse. At just 2 years old, Brynn was diagnosed with a brain tumor called ependymoma. At first, standard treatment worked. When she turned 4, Brynn relapsed and was pulled back into the terrifying world of cancer. With the help of ALSF's Travel For Care program, Brynn was able to reach a cutting-edge immunotherapy clinical trial led by an ALSF-funded researcher. Today, Brynn is now 10 years old, a dedicated Girl Scout, and the ultimate Swiftie.
