What is our goal?

Support for Research

Cancer cannot be gotten rid of overnight. If we are to defeat it in the future, much patient work awaits us. We therefore carefully follow developments in the field and invest the funds raised into research that seeks new ways to treat tumor diseases in the long term. We are currently funding, for example, the team of Professor Brancale from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague, which is working on the development of a possible drug for DIPG.

We also contribute to the modernization of hospitals so that doctors have the necessary equipment available. We help educate future doctors and scientists through internships. We organize lectures for both professionals and the general public.

"The role of foundations is key because they are with us from the very beginning. They believe in our idea and in the process. They don't need tons of preliminary data or proof. They support new ideas that can bring the desired change."

International Partnership

We are part of the international initiative of independent foundations from around the world, DIPG/DMG Collaborative, which have linked up to support long-term research on DIPG/DMG, the creation of an international DIPG registry, and the financing of clinical studies.

Our total financial support has already exceeded 15 million dollars.

We financially supported the internship of Mgr. Denisa Olejníková at the Gustave Roussy Institute.

Direct Help for Patients and Their Families

When you find yourself in a position where you are fighting for your child's life from one day to the next, money and borders should not be an obstacle to their recovery. But not everyone can handle such a sudden and complicated situation on their own.

Our goal is for all families who express interest to get the best possible treatment and to manage the burden of unexpected costs for everything related to it.

Unfortunately, we also know that not every fight ends in victory. We stand by families until the very end and try to be a support for them even in the most difficult moments.

Our warriors

Awareness Activities

We actively work to raise awareness about cancer and the need to fund its research.

For example, every year we organize the Carousel for Nina on the occasion of World Brain Tumor Day as a thank you to all our supporters. In this way, we also present the results of our activities and future plans to the general public.

Our activities in the media

The Carousel for Nina has been held regularly in Letná since 2024 on the occasion of World Brain Tumor Day

Research

Research into childhood brain tumors, which are among the most aggressive and difficult to treat, could lead to a major breakthrough in cancer treatment as such. Supporting this research thus gives hope to millions of future patients worldwide.
