Our kids are being treated with toxic Anthracyclines for their cancer. These chemotherapy options can cause irreversible heart damage. Abby’s Hero Fund honors Abby by researching how to detect early signs of heart damage. Just because survivors hair grows back doesn’t mean they are living their healthiest lives. Abby should be here and her legacy will continue with this much needed research. ❤️💚
Childhood cancer survivors deserve not only a cure, but a healthy future.
Many children with cancer receive anthracycline chemotherapies – lifesaving treatments that help them beat cancer. But for some survivors, these treatments can cause serious heart damage years later, even leading to heart failure. 💔
Thanks to support from the TEAM ABBY Gives St. Baldrick’s Hero Fund, Dr. Hari Narayan is working to change that. Using advanced imaging technology, this research aims to detect early signs of heart damage in adolescent and young adult survivors and develop personalized treatments that could prevent heart failure before it starts.
This grant honors Abby, who was diagnosed with Pre-B ALL just before her 5th birthday. 💔 After a successful bone marrow transplant, Abby courageously battled graft-versus-host disease and heart disease for years. Though she passed away in 2021, her legacy lives on through the Hero Fund, which continues to inspire hope and support research that will help children not only beat cancer, but also go on to live healthier, fuller lives after treatment.
In honor of National Cancer Survivor Month, donate to help advance research for life after cancer: https://ow.ly/U9vc50Z9tO1
Because every child deserves a future filled with health, hope, and possibility.
