| Thank you for visiting! My name is Jeff Brooks. I am the father of two beautiful daughters. One of them has left this earth and joined Jesus as a result of a rare form of childhood cancer.
Childhood Cancer is not like adult forms and research into adult forms often does nothing to advance treatments for children. Childhood cancer is seriously underserved by the well known cancer groups. I have seen statistics that while the big cancer organizations always advertise with children they give about $30 per life year lost for childhood cancers while give about $300/ life year for breast and $2000 / life year for prostrate
How serious is Childhood Cancer? It is the number one disease killer of children... and while the diagnosis rate is decreasing for many childhood cancer rates are increasing.
My wife and I have formed the Taylor Brooks Foundation to serve patients, families and doctors dealing with rare forms of childhood cancer thru:
- increasing the visibility of Childhood Cancer
- humanitarian support of the patients and caregivers
-resources to analyze and implement treatment options
- resources to research new treatments.
As part of the fund raising for The Taylor Brooks Fundation I am participate in athletic events and request sponsorship for my participation. In 2011 I plan to complete in IRONMAN Regensburg. We also recruit other athletes to do the same. Your generous donation or participation as a fundraising athlete will be greatly appreciated.
We have achieved our first goal to fund a fellowship in the childhood sarcoma oncology field. Now we hope to raise funds for research in the same field>
