If a child’s life was in danger you would do something, wouldn’t you?
The Children’s Brain Tumor Project Weill Cornell Medicine is proud to present this powerful public service announcement (PSA). The PSA, produced and funded by the generosity of DDB Health, is intended to raise awareness of the traumatic outcomes for far too many children diagnosed with brain tumors every year, and demand action by encouraging viewers to donate.
You can do something to help. The generous gifts of our supporters allow our neuroscientists/researchers to continue their important work.
