Cancer is a word everyone knows, and a word no one wants to hear. Certain cancers are common household names. Most people have heard of leukemia, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Neuroblastoma, on the other hand, is mysterious to many. Wade's Army was founded by the Welbourn and DeBruin families to recruit others to use their Power for good and bring the fight to this pediatric cancer.
For the past 12 years they have fought with muscle and kindness, bringing people together to raise money directly for children and parents affected by this childhood cancer, while also supporting research initiatives and hospitals fighting to find a cure. Their Army of supporters has made it possible for them to fund 5 clinical research trials, support 30 families and commit more than $800,000 to clinical research to find a cure for this terrible disease.
Leading the charge against neuroblastoma. Wade's Army is a charity founded to honor the fight of Wade DeBruin (2009-2011).
