Please join us on Sunday April 29th at 10:00 in Garden City to participate in this year's Tomorrow Fund Stroll....

It's not a race, it's not a 5K, it's not a walk...it's a Stroll!

Here is our story....

In July 2005 Sarah Belin Sweet was diagnosed with Ganglioneuroblastoma, a rare but treatable tumor. Sarah endured two surgeries to remove the five inch tumor from her four year old abdomen. Without the extraordinary assistance of The Tomorrow Fund, our experience would have been unbearable.

Tomorrow Fund Mission:

The Tomorrow Fund was founded in 1985 to ease the traumatic emotional and financial effects of childhood cancer. The founders - a group that included doctors, child life specialists, and parents of children with cancer - recognized that, in addition to the very best in medical care, children with cancer and their families need and deserve financial and emotional assistance to cope with the overwhelming challenges of this insidious disease.

At the time of our founding, children with cancer at Rhode Island Hospital shared space with adult oncology patients and those suffering from other hematological diseases. The dream of having a local oncology clinic dedicated solely to the treatment of children became a reality with the opening of The Tomorrow Fund Clinic at Hasbro Children's Hospital in 1995. Led by Dr. Edwin Forman, one of the original founders of The Tomorrow Fund, the Clinic is widely recognized for its outstanding medical treatment and its compassionate approach to the children and their families.

Today, more than 90% of children with cancer in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts are treated in The Tomorrow Fund Clinic.

At The Tomorrow Fund, we fulfill our mission through three major programs:

Support for The Tomorrow Fund Clinic
Direct financial and emotional assistance to families of children in treatment at the Clinic
Outreach to inform the community about the effects of childhood cancer.
