Our mission at Sophia's Fund is derived from a simple question, "What would Sophie want?" Sophia's Fund is dedicated to helping families in their fight against cancer, financially and beyond. We assist with life changes, funding critical research, and raising awareness to gain greater support in the local and national communities. Ultimately, we allow families to focus their energy on what matters most - their child and family.

This week's featured childhood cancer hero is Juliette Toledo!

Juliette is the sweetest and goofiest little girl. Believing she had a virus, Juliette's parents took her to the ER. Then a CAT scan revealed she had cancer: a tumor in the back of her brain. Surgery removed the tumor, but also paralyzed her vocal cords. Another surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation helped, and today Juliette is thankfully in remission!

Early research has uncovered new potential in the fight against diffuse midline glioma (DMG), a rare and aggressive childhood brain tumor. 💪

Scientists at MIT recently achieved a breakthrough by synthesizing verticillin A – a natural fungal compound with known anticancer properties – unlocking new possibilities to study and refine in the lab.

With support from St. Baldrick’s, Dr. Jun Qi at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is now testing these newly developed verticillin derivatives against DMG cell lines, with promising early results. 🙏

Next steps include understanding how these compounds work at the molecular level and advancing toward testing in pediatric brain cancer models.

It's still early, but discoveries like this bring hope for better, more targeted treatments for kids facing brain tumors.

Like and reshare to raise awareness for DMG. ✨
