“The Chris Elliott Fund has raised over $2 million to date for cancer research, including brain cancer research and support. These funds have supported important research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute leading to discoveries into the genetic mutations that cause GBM, as well as identifying two subclasses of GBM which will spur additional research and discoveries into more effective therapies and hopefully a cure.”
