Kristin Connor will talk about her role as Executive Director of the CURE Childhood Cancer Foundation and how fortune smiled on her and her family after her son Brandon was officially diagnosed with Neuroblastoma just 30 days after he was born.

During the 33rd week of her pregnancy, Kristin Connor was told that her soon to be newborn had a tumor that was diagnosed as Neuroblastoma 30 days after he was born. Her son Brandon is now a fully healthy soon to be 20 year old, who despite many obstacles, never had to actually undergo treatment for his disease and was declared cancer free when he was 2 years old. During this period and afterwards, Kristin saw too many children of friends pass away from Pediatric Cancer and decided to get involved full time in trying to find a cure for these kids who needed so much help. This resulted in her being named the Director of the CURE Childhood Cancer Foundation which has a mission of trying to find the best ways of less toxic treatments, which will help these patients both now and in the future.
