Our Story
After three children in our community were diagnosed with bone cancer, we recognized the desperate need for osteosarcoma research and formed Battle Osteosarcoma. Ultimately, our battles with osteosarcoma resulted in unimaginable tragedy and heartbreak, losing Charlotte, Dylan, and Tyler to metastatic osteosarcoma. Yet their memories give us the resolve to make headway against osteosarcoma. Battle Osteosarcoma’s goal is to change the narrative and improve overall survival rates by investing in research. The organization quickly gained traction and support from our incredible community of friends, family, and neighbors. Battle Osteosarcoma held its first fundraiser in 2019 with an initial goal of $100,000, and never looked back. Today, we continue the battle in memory of Charlotte, Dylan, and Tyler. To date, Battle Osteosarcoma has funded osteosarcoma research projects focused on developing preclinical models, molecularly targeted therapies, immunotherapy approaches, and advancing clinical trials. We remain committed to developing better options and a brighter future for osteosarcoma patients and their families.
With love and commitment in our hearts, we carry on for Charlotte, Dylan, and Tyler, and the thousands of kids who are OsteoHeroes and OsteoAngels.
