DonateWho We Are
Our mission is to catalyze groundbreaking preclinical research into ETMR and other rare pediatric brain cancers, fostering hope for a cure.
Our vision is to eradicate ETMR and other rare pediatric brain cancers through supporting transformative research and encouraging global scientific collaboration.
Other than ETMR, some additional rare pediatric brain tumors include:
-
This is a rare and clinically aggressive tumor that mainly affects children less than 3 years of age, but can also occur in older children and adults.
-
This is a rare and clinically aggressive tumor that forms in the brainstem. Incidence is 1-2 cases per 100,000 population with a peak at 6-9 years of age.
-
These account for 1-4% of brain tumors in children and mainly present in children less than 2 years of age. There are 3 categories:
Chordoid Plexus Papilloma (CPP)
Atypical Chordoid Plexus Papilloma (ACPP)
Chordoid Plexus Carcinoma (CPC)
-
These account for 1.2-4.6% of intracranial tumors in children less than 18 years of age.

Testimonial
“The unwavering and generous support of the Jonah Finn Foundation has been essential in forwarding my lab’s focus on ETMR research, the pursuit of new treatments, and generating new hope for patients here and across the globe. With their help, not only have we been able to deepen our understanding and broaden our own research projects, but also foster new relationships and collaborations with an international consortium of top-tier labs and researchers. This has led to a whole new stream of young scientists to join our team in the quest to cure ETMRs. The foundation has shown that one united team of doctors, families, advocates, fundraisers, and everyone else who contributes to this challenge is how we will make progress. Thank you for all you do, JFF!”
