LOVE WILL do the impossible
At Children’s Mercy, love is the driving force behind everything we do. It inspires us to offer more specialties, pushes our researchers to find new answers and guides the most compassionate, comprehensive care. Because love has no limits. And with it, neither do we.
Head for the Cure Foundation
Raise Awareness and Funding
The mission of Head for the Cure is to raise awareness and funding to inspire hope for the community of brain cancer patients, their families, friends, caregivers and other supporters, while celebrating their courage, spirit and energy.
We accomplish this by hosting a series of 5K runs/walks and other events to raise funding in support of brain cancer research benefiting local beneficiaries and our national beneficiary, The Brain Tumor Trials Collaborative (BTTC). We also provide support through our programs including Brains for the Cure, survivor luncheons and other community engagements. All of these events and programs allow us to raise funds, awareness and hope for the brain tumor community.
