In 2005, Dean Crowe faced a question that would change lives: "What can I do to help?" This simple inquiry, posed to a friend whose 17-year-old son, William, was battling brain cancer for the second time, sparked the inception of Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. Moved by the urgency to make a difference, Dean embarked on a mission to raise funds for childhood cancer research. With a steadfast dedication to advancing pediatric cancer research, Rally Foundation has awarded an impressive $29.4 million in grants to institutions across the nation and around the globe. Each grant represents not just a monetary contribution, but a beacon of hope for children and families facing the unimaginable challenges of cancer.
In alignment with International Childhood Cancer Day, Dean Crowe, CEO and founder of Rally Foundation, announced that Oncoheroes Biosciences, has been selected as the recipient of a new grant. “Each grant funded by Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research is chosen through a rigorous dual peer-review process. Rally’s Medical Advisory Board recognizes the promise of this international clinical trial and Oncoheroes’ lead compound that targets five different pediatric cancers. We are encouraged that this trial will bring hope to children and adolescents fighting cancer”, stated Dean.
This grant marks the third time Rally has provided crucial support to advance Oncoheroes’ mission of finding new and better therapies for childhood cancer. Since 2021, Rally Foundation has been a vital partner in Oncoheroes’ journey, investing in the company twice during that year alone. The grant will contribute to launch an international clinical trial to test the efficacy of Oncoheroes’ lead compound, volasertib, in five types of pediatric cancer. On behalf of Oncoheroes Biosciences, we extend our deepest gratitude to Rally Foundation for their support and unwavering belief in our mission.
