Tough2gether Foundation is fighting childhood cancer. It's personal to us! We've watched too many children die from DIPG, the most terminal childhood cancer. In fact Tough2gether Foundation was founded by Jace Ward, who at 20 fought DIPG for two years while advocating for others, raising funds to expand trials and starting this foundation. We work daily to care for families in the fight by providing information and supporting their financial needs. Central to our mission is fueling research and clinical trials and to fill the gaps in the current pediatric cancer system. We're bringing people who care together to change the patient data landscape and the way clinical trials operate from a single approach to combinations. Team up with us to end DIPG and all childhood cancer as we know it.
