From Pittsburgh, PA to Washington, DC, PREP4Gold board member, Ed Seibolt will take on the challenge of riding the GAP trail, a total of 335 miles, the first week of June. Ed will Pedal for Hope in the fight against childhood cancer. At 70, Ed is no stranger to pushing himself, coming off of shoulder surgery as a result of an injury sustained on his men's softball team.

PREP4Gold is grateful to the John Carroll University Sports Information Department Students for raising money for us this past weekend during the John Carroll University Men's Lacrosse game. Unfortunately the game didn't go in the direction of the Blue Streaks.

Thank you for supporting the effort to prevent childhood cancer!

The Blue Streaks kept it close through the third quarter, but lost control in the fourth quarter

Dr. Spector is one of the driving forces on the Childhood Cancer Prevention Consortium's Scientific Advisory Council.

Please take a moment to read this piece written by our Executive Director Jonathan Agin. It brings home the sad state created by distortion and conspiracy theories serving as science. One of the most promising trials for kids with DIPG, the same cancer that took his daughter's life, was set to begin through the now defunded Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium using mRNA technology.

We must prioritize science!

The childhood cancer that took my daughter's life has a near-100 percent fatality rate — about half of children with the tumor die within 9 months of
