I'm swimming for my niece Corinne who is currently a patient at Texas Children's Hospital.Diagnosed in September of 2024 with a Stage IV Wilms Tumor, she has undergone surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy treatment under the care of the medical teams at Texas Children's Hospital. Her journey continues because of the life-changing work of the dedicated staff at Texas Children's Oncology Center and Surgical Research Center.
I'm excited to swim to honor Corinne in hope that the funds we raise move the world one step closer to a day that any child facing any cancer diagnosis receives the BEST care the world has to offer. All funds raised in this event will be directed toward Texas Children's Surgical Oncology Lab performing cutting edge clinical, translational, and basic science research focused on pediatric solid tumors.Led by Dr. Sanjeev Vasudevan, their work is centered on finding new cures through cancer modeling, molecular profiling, and preclinical testing of novel targeted agents.
