We mourn the passing of Joel Shiff, a long-standing board member and past president of Children's Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF). He is survived by his beloved wife, Jane (also a former CBTF board member) ; children Adam (Deena), Jonathan (Laurie), and Gabriel (Ranit), and seven grandchildren. His wise counsel will be missed.
Today,
  • 11 families across America will learn their child has a brain or spinal cord tumor
  • A mother will grieve that her instincts about her child’s health were right.
  • A father will allow himself to cry, but only alone in the shower.
  • 3 families across America will mourn the loss of their child to a brain or spinal cord tumor
  • Friends, family and community will try to make sense of an untimely death and the unfulfilled promise of a life.
  • 6 families across America will transition to survivorship.
  • A mother will be too exhausted from providing constant care to her child to simply write checks to pay bills.
  • A father will again adapt his day, family and life to a new definition of normal, unlike any he had previously envisioned.
  • A survivor on the brink of adulthood will wonder if he’ll ever date, marry or have a family.
 
Today, Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation will be there with insight, support, respite and hope.

Today, we invite you to join us!
