Mission Statement:
The Make Some Noise: Cure Kids Cancer Foundation was established by a child with cancer with one purpose in mind: to fund pediatric cancer research. To that end, the foundation serves as a vehicle to secure private funding to distribute to research facilities and promote awareness through its fund raising activities. The designation of funds to various research facilities is cancer specific and based on the foundation's annual evaluation of the latest research.
About the Founder:11 year old Malcolm has been battling pediatric cancer since his diagnosis in the late fall of 2008. He was 10 years old at the time and had spent the fall sidelined in soccer due to pain in his hip, thought to be caused by a broken growth plate. Just after Thanksgiving 2008, he was officially diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a highly aggressive and malignant bone tumor. While enduring 14 rounds of chemotherapy, surgery to remove his hip, rehabilitation, and keeping up with his school work, Malcolm realized that he was surrounded by pink ribbons, but saw no awareness for pediatric cancer. He decided to tackle the challenge of raising awareness and critically needed private funding to support research for pediatric cancers. He began publicly speaking out and raising funds through the sale of his livestrong style wristbands. He gave all funds to his pediatric hospital's cancer research facility, but decided that in order to really "make some noise," he needed to expand and thus his dream to incorporate a national foundation was born.
