Our Mission and Vision
Mission
Supporting DIPG Research and Patients
Despite DIPG being the number one cause of death by disease in children, only 0.1% of all federal cancer funding is allocated to it. This stark discrepancy underscores the critical role of philanthropic organizations like the Mithil Prasad Foundation. While we tirelessly advocate for increased government funding, it is the contributions from philanthropic entities that further essential research and provide much-needed patient support in the meantime.
Our foundation is driven by a resolute vision: to find a cure for DIPG within our lifetime. This vision propels every initiative we undertake, fueling our commitment to groundbreaking research, innovative treatment approaches, and comprehensive patient support. We believe that with unwavering dedication, collaboration, and the support of our community, we can transform this vision into reality, offering hope and a brighter future to the many children and families affected by this devastating disease.
