Focusing on the Positive.

The LuciaGirl Pediatric Oncology Foundation (LGPOF) was created in honor of sweet, beautiful, funny, smart, Lucia M. Renard, who at only 8 years old battled the devastating effects of malignant brain tumors.

LGPOF raises money and awareness on behalf of children battling any type of cancer. We are particularly interested in viable investigations that will significantly impact the course of treatment development to significantly improve survival ratesof our children.

Additionally, we are determined to bring about changes in FDA procedures to allow fast-tracking of experimental therapeutics to those children facing impending doom barring divine intervention.

We also provide informational, emotional and some financial support to improve the quality of life for the children and their families.

In honor of Lucia's great sense of humor the foundation has named their funds collection effort

Funds and Research Team (F.A.R.T.)

The name is funny, the cause, not so much.
