The wonderful people who are part of Team TJ have done much to advance the basic research needed to make progress against TJ’s disease – Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytomas and other pediatric low grade brain tumors. Over the past four years, Team TJ has raised over $900,000 through the Geared Up For Kids Ride, the Pan-Mass Challenge, the previous Ride for Research Ride and private donations. All of these funds have been directed specifically at children’s brain tumor research and the projects have been selected by some of the leading pediatric brain tumor researchers in the country. We’ve provided in the link below a full list of related research that has been partially funded by Team TJ or our partner families in the Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma Foundation (“PLGA Foundation”). While you can see we’ve made strong progress, we are really only in the very early stages of the research that will be needed to develop promising new therapies or a cure. The unfortunate reality is that it takes many millions of dollars to make meaningful long term progress.
