The Cure Starts Now http://www.thecurestartsnow.org/
The Cure Starts Now is happy to welcome Jon and Anne Cinnelli and Marc and Emily Quayle to our strategic council. Both families know all to well the struggles we face in the fight against brain cancer and have made a major financial contribution to The Cure Starts Now and we look forward to their leadership contributions now. Their place on the strategic council will help guide us to the first 10-13 branches of CSN opening by years end. They will also help the existing strategic council decide on funding more research grants (our second funding cycle in 6 months). We are excited about the new partnerships and being able to broaden our operations. If you would like more information in joining these families in their combine fight against brain cancer, please contact me at brooke@thecurestartsnow.org.
