Our goal is to be a leading private non-profit, funding organization of innovative childhood cancer research and clinical trials. We strive to spread awareness across the country through a national network of Maria’s Sunflower Fields of Hope. The research we invest in is lighting a path. Our seed grants have acquired follow-on funding from the National Institute of Health and other organizations. Our efforts have resulted in nearly $8 million going to the fight against childhood brain cancer. “If we can prevent or ease the suffering of even one more child and their family, then we will continue. It’s what motivates us and keeps us going every day.” -Ed and Megan McNamara
