Here to Serve, Inc.

Adrian's cancer journey started at age 2 when he was diagnosed with a rare bone tumor called Clival Chordoma, which required invasive surgery that led to massive complications and challenges. Here to Serve supported Adrian's family as he fought for his life, providing everything from financial assistance to transportation, to making sure that the holidays were filled with cheer instead of added stress. We hope you'll join us on September 21st when Adrian's mother Abby will share his story at Casino Night, reiterating how critical it is for us to come together as a community to close the care gap.

Imagine your child’s cells as a factory with proteins acting as tiny machines. Menin is a tumor suppressor protein that regulates cell growth. In some childhood cancers, gene mutations like *KMT2A and *NPM1 corrupt these growth instructions, causing uncontrolled cell multiplication. Menin, while usually a regulator, interacts with these mutations, further fueling cancer growth. Menin inhibitors are a promising new therapy designed to disrupt this harmful interaction, effectively starving cancer cells of the signals they need to survive. This innovative approach could revolutionize pediatric cancer treatment. Read our latest blog to learn more about how menin inhibitors could offer new hope as a promising new therapy for cancer patients at: https://lnkd.in/gH8JPhyK
