In 1979, 13-year-old Katie Hageboeck was nearing the end of her 16-month battle with leukemia. Before she died, Katie asked that her savings for a new 10-speed bike be given to Children’s Cancer Research Fund, a little-known fund at the University of Minnesota. Since 1981, Katie’s parents, Diana and Norm, have made it their mission to support groundbreaking research.
Today, Children's Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) is a national nonprofit focused on funding
transformational research to bring better treatments and cures to children with cancer. Thanks to donors and partners around the country, we have contributed more than $235 million to research, education and awareness, and quality-of-life programs for childhood cancer families. We believe children deserve safer, less toxic treatments, and we’re committed to funding groundbreaking research and services that enhance
healing and care.
