Testimonials
Myles was 6 years old when he was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumor. He received the standard treatment, but the cancer returned -- twice.
The standard treatment wasn't enough, so Dr. Nick Foreman analyzed the genetic information in Myles's tumor and found a drug that killed his cancer cells in the lab. That drug was combined with radiation therapy and resolved Myles's cancer.
Relapses like Myles's had previously been fatal in all children, but support of research through The Morgan Adams Foundation enabled Myles's doctor to find a medication that worked for his cancer. Today, Myles is a senior in high school, and he has been cancer-free for more than 8 years!
Thanks to kids' cancer research, Myles is in college and working toward making his dream of an aviation career a reality.
Mission
Our Mission
The Morgan Adams Foundation raises money and awareness on behalf of children affected with cancer. Working with leading physicians, we directly fund pediatric cancer research and therapies that will improve survival rates and reduce the devastating side-effects cancer treatments have on our children.
Background Statement
Morgan Adams was a normal, healthy 5-year old girl when she was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumor in December of 1997. She battled her cancer for 11 months before she succumbed to the disease. Three years after Morgan died, her parents started this organization as a way to address the unmet needs in the field of pediatric cancer research.
As a result of their work, The Morgan Adams Foundation has grown to encompass many, many more families whose children have faced cancer, has developed a wide roster of events, and has funded more than $7.2 million in pediatric cancer research projects in Colorado and across the country.
We are a vital, vibrant, and committed organization born out of love and hope and the determination to see a better, cancer-free future for children.
