Parents funding medical research themselves
Fed up with the lack of treatment options for some of their children when it comes to diseases and conditions, some Boston parents have banded together to fund research into things like Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma, or JPA.JPA is a kind of brain tumor and the treatment options are very limited from current medical science. What to do? If you can't get something done right, you have to do it yourself, believe these parents. Who could blame them? Decades of cancer research and what's the result?
Ask this parent group and you'll probably get a mouthful. They've raised over $6 million in three years after being tired of drug companies or others to address the cancerous nature of their children. Let's hope they fare a little better than research into the past (as it were).
