Finch Match My Donation Spotlight: Sebastian’s Superheroes for Neuroblastoma Research

This week's spotlight Finch Match My Donation is

Sebastian's Superheroes

Sebastian’s Superheroes began when Sebastian’s family became desperate for a cure for Sebastian’s battle with Neuroblastoma. Since the family had never heard of the disease prior to Sebastian’s diagnosis, it became the family’s mission to create awareness for this terrible disease that is affecting so many young children and their families. Unfortunately, Sebastian's fight against this terrible disease ended in May of 2011 and we lost another beautiful child to cancer. Sebastian’s Superheroes consists of a group of family members and friends who have been touched by this brave warrior’s courage and strength. We have donated our time and efforts in hopes that one day a cure will be found so that children no longer have to battle a disease that has already taken the lives of many brave, young warriors.

"Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer which has no cure and is an orphan cancer. Which means big pharmaceutical companies are not researching and developing medicin for this cancer because of the smal number of cases which are only in the thousands per year. Any and all research is done with the small amount of contributions raised by families such as the Oliveira family who’s son Sebastian passed away over 10!years ago at the age of 7."
