The Raymond A. Wood Foundation Announces New Mission Statement
Raymond A. Wood Foundation (RAWF) announces a new mission to empower hypothalamic-pituitary brain tumor survivors for improved quality of life by providing access to education, technology, and evolving treatments. The mission expands the foundation’s reach to include adult survivors and narrows its focus to those tumors that occupy the central part of the brain and impact the endocrine system, metabolic processes, cognition and behavior, vision, growth, stress response, and other important body functions.
Virtual Support for Patients & Caregivers
Stress and anxiety tend to be a built-in side effect of surviving a brain tumor or caregiving for a survivor, but add in the current circumstances and there may be moments where you truly feel like it is tough to get through the day.
Thank You DC Dancing Stars Gala!
When we started this foundation three years ago, our goal was simply to get another family a handheld blood analyzer so they could have a little more control over a medical condition that takes a lot of guesswork. And no one should have to rely on guesswork to keep their children from ER trips and hospitalizations or worse. That goal has been achieved 14 times since. We have nothing but gratitude for the support that has come in to make this happen and we plan to continue this work.
