Zach’s Fund is making a huge difference in the search for a cure for diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas! To date, over $900,000 has been raised for Zach’s Fund which enabled the research team at DFCI to make medical breakthroughs in the care and treatment of children with diffuse pontine gliomas.

Over the past 40 years researchers had been striving for these breakthroughs and now, thanks to funding from Zach’s Fund, they are a mainstay of research on diffuse pontine gliomas. We are moving towards our goal to find a cure … please come with us and make a tax deductible donation now.

About Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults and is home to groundbreaking cancer discoveries.  The Institute is consistently ranked the number one cancer hospital in New England by U.S.News & World Report.  Founded in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of community efforts to advance Dana-Farber's lifesaving mission.
"I was always confident that Zach would grow up to make something truly special out of himself, as he was so determined to make a difference in the world around him. Although his life was cut short at such a young age, he positively impacted the lives of so many others, he accomplished more in his short time here on Earth than most people who live a full life ever do. In that sense, Zach will never be gone, because his selfless deeds and his friendship will forever live on in the hearts of those he knew well."
