Brittney Gail Bliss brought joy to all who knew her with her love for dress-up, crafting, and dance parties. Tragically, her life was cut short when she was diagnosed with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma in May 2022. In her memory, her parents, Elena and Brian, established Brittney’s Believers Foundation, dedicated to raising funds and awareness for childhood cancer research.
Now, Brittney’s Believers Foundation has joined forces with Oncoheroes to support the advancement of pediatric oncology. Their generous grant will contribute to the launch of an international clinical trial testing the efficacy of Oncoheroes' lead-compound, volasertib, in five different types of pediatric cancer, including rhabdomyosarcoma.
“We decided to partner with Oncoheroes because they are at the forefront in fighting childhood cancer! The work they are doing aligns with our mission in hopes of finding new and better ways to treat and one day defeat childhood cancer!”, stated Elena, Brittney’s mother.
Oncoheroes extends our deepest gratitude to Brittney’s Believers Foundation for their unwavering support. Together, we are committed to developing new therapies specifically tailored to pediatric oncology, offering hope to children battling cancer worldwide.
