Making Headway Foundation provides comprehensive support for families dealing with childhood brain and spinal cord tumors. They offer individual counseling, educational advocacy to help navigate school systems, in-hospital programs that make treatment more bearable, and emergency financial assistance through various grants. Their care continues long after hospital discharge with ongoing support services that would otherwise leave families coping alone.
The foundation also funds critical medical research, facilitates clinical trials, and provides neuro-oncology fellowships to advance treatment options. They host family events, provide scholarships for survivors, and offer comfort programs including hospital playroom activities. Families describe how Making Headway transforms the cancer experience, with some children actually looking forward to treatment days because of the support and activities provided.
