We can do more to treat pediatric cancer. It鈥檚 called proton therapy. Makayla Cancer Survivor Makayla, 12, traveled far from home for proton therapy to treat a rare, aggressive cancer. Today, she is cancer-free. For children, especially, traditional radiation can affect healthy, growing tissue. Proton therapy targets tumors with more precision, reducing long-term side effects, improving life after treatment. To access that treatment, local families must travel up to 4 hours, 5 days a week, for weeks. That鈥檚 an enormous burden. Bring proton therapy home. We鈥檝e raised $32.5 million toward our $50 million goal. Now we need your help to treat children like Makayla here at home. Donate now. Scan the QR code or visit carilionfoundation.org/give
