I recently received the holiday card from Malia and her family. It held excellent news, reiterating that Malia is in remission and is currently 6 months into a clinical trial run by Dr.Scholler that uses DFMO. DFMO's intended use was for treatment of excessive hair growth and African Sleeping Sickness, but is believed to help prevent relapse in neuroblastoma.
Malia and her family have set a goal to raise $10,000 for this research trial which has the potential to save the lives of many children with cancer. Below please find the information on how to donate to this specific goal. Thank you for all of the continued support.
I found a great blog which has a post written about Malia and her story. If you have a minute you can check it out here: http://joeandruzzifoundation.blogspot.com/2012/07/a-brave-little-girl-hopes-for-remission.html#!/2012/07/a-brave-little-girl-hopes-for-remission.html .
