Our Mission
Imagine An Answer (IAA) was formed in 2015, several years after we had learned that our son Clay, then 3, had a brain tumor.
To drive progress towards a cure, IAA connects and funds scientific researchers nationwide who are working on innovative treatments to resources in the Washington, DC community and within the federal government.
IAA has raised over $2 million to-date, and now have dedicated scientists working in two world-class pediatric hospitals. Imagine where we can go with your help and our persistence!

Our Challenges
BRAIN TUMORS
are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children
1/3
of children's brain tumors are pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGG)
50%
of PLGGS will experience PFS* if there is residual tumor following surgery
In 2020, the US government allocated more than $6B towards cancer research. In 2021, only 1.2% of those funds went towards pediatric cancer research, and only 9% of those funds went towards brain cancer research. To help us continue driving pediatric brain cancer research forward, consider becoming a donor.
