The Washington Chapter of The Cure Starts Now was formed in memory of Victor Caplan. Before June 2013, Victor was a silly, bright, funny, curious boy who always had 100 questions for everything and everyone. He loved everything that had wheels or wings and wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. 

"We miss Victor every single day and celebrate his life by raising funds for other children who still have a chance at a cure." -The Caplan Family

The Cure Starts Now (501c3 Federal Non-Profit) is one of the only cancer foundations dedicated to a “homerun” cure for all cancers, starting first with one of the most deadly and difficult cancers: pediatric brain cancer. Many experts believe that the lessons we learn from fighting pediatric cancer may in fact provide us the critical first step in winning the battle against all forms of cancer, both pediatric and adult.
