CCRF-FUNDED BREAKTHROUGHS ARE: -HELPING TO INCREASE SURVIVAL RATES FOR SOME CHILDHOOD CANCERS FROM 50% IN 1950S TO 80% TODAY. -CHANGING THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE WITH ADULT STEM CELLS: OUR TEAM PERFORMED THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT; FIRST DOUBLE UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD TRANSPLANT; FIRST STEM CELL TRANSPLANT TO TREAT EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA (PRE-CANCEROUS SKIN DISEASE). -SETTING NEW TREATMENT STANDARDS: THE TEAM'S UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD PROTOCOL (KNOWN INTERNATIONALLY AS THE "MINNEAPOLIS REGIMEN") HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED CANCER SURVIVAL RATES AND IS BEING USED AROUND THE WORLD. -FINDING ROOT CAUSES OF CANCER: OUR EPIDEMIOLOGY RESEARCH TEAM LEADS THE NATION IN RESEARCH PROGRESS TO FIND OUT WHY KIDS GET CANCER. -MAKING AN IMPACT ON OTHER DEADLY DISEASES: BREAKTHROUGHS DISCOVERED THROUGH CCRF DONATIONS ARE NOW BEING APPLIED TO OTHER DISEASES, SUCH AS GENETIC AND METABOLIC STORAGE DISEASES, BREAST CANCER, LUNG CANCER, AS WELL AS DIABETES, PARKINSON'S AND HEART CONDITIONS. LAST YEAR CCRF INVESTED MORE THAN $6.3 MILLION IN RESEARCH TO DEVELOP AGGRESSIVE RESEARCH PROGRAMS AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD CANCER AND DEVELOPING THERAPIES IN THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIC AREAS: PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR PROGRAM, GENETIC & METABOLIC DISEASE PROGRAM, PEDIATRIC SARCOMA PROGRAM, CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVORSHIP PROGRAM, EPIDEMIOLOGIC RESEARCH PROGRAM, IMMUNE-BASED THERAPIES, AND ADULT STEM CELL BIOLOGY.CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH FUND ACCELERATES DISCOVERY BY PROVIDING A STEADY STREAM OF FLEXIBLE FUNDING THAT EMPOWERS RESEARCHERS TO PURSUE PROMISING NEW IDEAS. -CCRF GIVES SEED MONEY FOR EARLY, PROOF OF PRINCIPAL RESEARCH THAT ATTRACTS OTHER FUNDING RESOURCES. -CCRF RESEARCHERS ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING LARGE NIH GRANTS, THUS EVERY $1 DONATED TO CCRF GENERATES AN AVERAGE OF $20 FROM OTHER FUNDING SOURCES FOR OUR RESEARCHERS. THIS ROI IS FURTHER COMPOUNDED BECAUSE BREAKTHROUGHS DISCOVERED THOUGH CCRF'S FOCUS ON CHILDREN, HAVE APPLICATIONS FOR ADULT DISEASES AS WELL. -CCRF FILLS IN GAPS LEFT BY RESTRICTED FUNDING SOURCES THAT ARE IMPEDING PROGRESS. -CCRF LETS RESEARCHERS PURSUE BOLD IDEAS BY PROVIDING A STEADY STREAM OF UNRESTRICTED, FLEXIBLE RESEARCH DOLLARS. -CCRF'S FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM TRAINS THE NEXT GENERATION OF PEDIATRIC CANCER DOCTORS TO SEEK NEW DISCOVERIES IN BOTH BASIC SCIENCE AND CLINICAL APPLICATION.
