Dear friends,
As some of you know, I was invited to join the Board of the newly formed Ewing Sarcoma Institute last fall. Although the Institute itself is new, it’s built on more than twenty years of research, collaboration, and determination to change the future for Ewing sarcoma patients.
I’m truly honored to be part of this extraordinary organization. I believe wholeheartedly in the team and in our mission: to radically improve outcomes for Ewing sarcoma patients by uniting the global community and accelerating the discovery and development of breakthrough treatments.
The Institute has already brought together an exceptional group of Ewing sarcoma researchers and clinicians from around the world—and the momentum is real.
As many of you know, our family entered this fight in 2009 when our beloved Anna was diagnosed. For years, we have hoped and prayed for the kind of scientific progress that could change what’s possible for kids and young adults with this disease. I genuinely believe the Ewing Sarcoma Institute is the catalyst we’ve been waiting for.
The Basso family is helping launch the newly established Ewing Families Research Fund, and we would love for you to join us. To kick things off, we’ve made a $12,120 gift in Anna’s honor—given with hope, gratitude, and a deep belief in what this work can become.
If you remember the 12:12 campaigns from the early days of the 1 Million 4 Anna Foundation, we’d be grateful to have you join us once again. A gift of $12.12—or any amount that feels right—will help jumpstart this fund, and 100% of your donation will go directly to research.
Thank you, as always, for your love, support, and belief in a better future for Ewing families everywhere.
With deep gratitude,
Carol, David, and Patrice, with Anna forever in our hearts.
