As pediatric oncologists, we’ve stood beside families on the hardest days of their lives — and on some of the most hopeful.
‍
We’ve witnessed the power of love, science, and sustained support. We’ve seen how a single thread of connection — a doctor, a treatment, a breakthrough — can change everything.
‍
People often ask us: “How do you do your job? It must be so heartbreaking.”

And it can be. But we keep going because we love our patients, and we believe in the future we’re helping to build.

The second question we hear is: “How can we help?”

For a long time, we didn’t have a good answer.

So we created one.

We founded Golden Thread to give people a way to turn compassion into action, and action into progress.

Golden Thread is led by physicians who know where the barriers are — and how to break through them. We bring the lived experience of the working in the lab, designing and conducting clinical trials, caring for patients and families and advocating on their behalf. We know how to connect stakeholders across academia, philanthropy, industry, technology, and government to focus on what truly drives progress.

We are weaving together the people, policies, and resources that will finally move us toward a future free from pediatric cancer.

This work is urgent. It is personal. And it will take all of us.

Golden Thread is how we get there — together.
