Nick Strub was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma in Sept. 2006 and spent more than 5 years fighting.

Nick’s family, friends, and a host of caring volunteers contribute their time and efforts to raise money to fund research specific to Ewing sarcoma, and to support Quad Cities Area families during treatment and beyond.

“This study underscores how metabolic vulnerabilities can be exploited to counter therapy resistance in Ewing sarcoma. Importantly, it highlights the promise of noninvasive metabolic imaging to track treatment-relevant biology and help guide therapy optimization,” said corresponding author Puneet Bagga, PhD, Department of Radiology. 💛

By examining causes of SLFN11 deficiency in recurrent Ewing sarcoma, scientists at St. Jude identified a metabolic process, glycerophospholipid biosynthesis, as a potential target to overcome chemoresistance in recurrent Ewing sarcoma.

Let that sink in.

Americans spent $4.5 billion on Halloween candy in the four weeks leading up to Halloween in 2025. In comparison, the NIH reported an estimated $732 million in pediatric cancer research funding for all of fiscal year 2025.

The reality is that pediatric cancer remains significantly underfunded, leaving promising research and potentially life-changing discoveries waiting for the support they need.

At the Sam Day Foundation, we’re working to help change that. Kids deserve the chance to survive and live well. Get involved today: samdayfoundation.org

Check out this awesome news about one of two studies we helped fund in 2023 at Seattle Children's! Your support made it possible.

Researchers at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, led by Dr. Elizabeth Lawlor, found that a protein called Menin promotes Ewing sarcoma metastasis. In mice, a Menin-blocking drug related to one already FDA-approved for leukemia significantly reduced tumor spread, though tumors returned in most mice once treatment stopped.

Menin inhibitors already on the market may be worth further study to help prevent relapse.

We've noticed several new faces around here lately, so welcome!

Who are we? We're the Nick Teddy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) focused on the research, support, and awareness of Ewing's sarcoma. Each year we host the Nick Teddy 5k with Tug Fest - Illinois and partner with other local organizations to raise funds. In turn, we're able to support local Ewing's patients and donate to research projects.
