A MESSAGE FROM Makayla’s Fundraising Page
I’m running the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon in support of the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF), and I invite you to join me by making a meaningful donation. For over 35 years, CBTF has grown from a small New York organization offering information and peer support into a national leader providing year-round programs for families facing a pediatric brain or spinal cord tumor—from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and bereavement.
As founders of the Children’s Brain Tumor Network, CBTF champions collaboration to drive research forward and address the often devastating long-term effects of treatment. Your support helps ensure that children, survivors, and families across the country receive the community, resources, and hope they need.
