Thank you to our anonymous donor for trusting and supporting our journey. We are forever grateful!
We recently received a substantial anonymous donation from a generous individual to support EGCRF's cancer research efforts. We gave this incredibly generous gift to Wilmot Cancer Institute, and they were able to use it as part of their internal grant awards. We have learnd that these funds were awarded to Dr. Allison Magnusen for pilot studies in Geriatric Cancer. Dr. Magnusen, part of Wilmot’s Institute on Aging, is working on a National Institute on Aging (NIA) application.
Representatives from Wilmot have noted that, “…securing this accreditation will establish Wilmot as a leader in Aging and Oncology. The donation from the Edelman-Gardner Foundation will help fund the grant application process, including the development of pilot studies that demonstrate Wilmot's infrastructure for researching how cancer affects older populations. If successful, this NIA grant will boost funding opportunities, ensure five years of support, and enhance understanding of options to address ‘chemo-brain.’ It will help develop pilot studies that demonstrate Wilmot’s research capacity in this field. If awarded, the NIA grant will elevate Wilmot by opening more funding avenues, providing long-term support, and advancing research on managing ‘chemo-brain.’”
This is a truly wonderful example of how our donors make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Thank you!
