Answer: We have set up several funds in which we deposit the donations into. We have established an endowed fellowship research position at Ohio State University and set up a fund to create scholarships for children that have overcome this disease or for their siblings that have lost a brother or sister to cancer. We also are soliciting funds to maintain and strengthen the JTHF website and online Resource Center. Future projects include an interactive website that allows parents to communicate with medical professionals and to search for profile pages of children that have already gone through this fight.
