Who Qualifies for Funding?
Rally Foundation is committed to finding a cure for childhood cancer by funding all phases of childhood cancer research from science at the bench (very
early research) to Phase I, II, and III clinical trials. Rally supports research conducted by:
- NCI/NIH
- COG
- PBTC
- NANT
- Research done at COG institutions
NCI, the National Cancer Institute, is the cancer research branch of the National Institutes of Health.
COG, the Children’s Oncology Group, is a research network of more than 5,000 physicians, scientists and nurses at 200 hospitals nationwide and
treats more than 90% of the children with cancer in the U.S. Because research and clinical trials are conducted collaboratively among all COG members and
member institutions, donating to COG affects children treated at all COG hospitals throughout the United States and worldwide. COG is supported by the
National Cancer Institute to conduct clinical trials devoted exclusively to children and adolescents with cancer.
NANT, New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy, is a consortium of 13 Universities and Childrens Hospitals with strong research and treatment programs
for neuroblastoma and was formed to provide a group of closely collaborating investigators who are linked with laboratory programs developing novel therapies
for high-risk neuroblastoma. NANT conducts clinical trials that test new drugs and new combinations of drugs against high-risk neuroblastoma.

| Meet Chelsie |
|
|
|
Chelsie was diagnosed with stage III High Risk Neuroblastoma in August 2004 at the very young age of 4 months. By her first
birthday she had endured multiple rounds of chemotherapy, 12 rounds of radiation, oral chemotherapy, surgery to remove the remaining tumor, and a very
risky stem cell transplant. Through it all she remained a trooper. In February 2005, she was declared NED (no evidence of disease), which she remains today.
We were very fortunate to live in a community with a cancer center for children. We count our blessings daily that she is where
she is today, especially since many of her friends are not so fortunate.
Chelsie has started pre-school this fall and loves to cheer on her favorite team ( O-H-I-O ). She is still followed very closely by her oncologist and
is scanned every 3 – 6 months. She is such a joy to our family and we pray that a cure is found, so that others may live.
