Mary Katherine was a whirlwind of creativity, independence, love and light.  She adored her family and friends and enjoyed playing outside, singing, dancing, her dogs and cats, taking care of her baby dolls, playing in her kitchen, Disney movies and Daniel Tigers Neighborhood.  She was the perfect addition to our family and was the youngest of our four children and the youngest cousin.

"While we miss Mary Katherine terribly, we are committed to turning our grief and pain into fighting for a cure for DIPG and other difficult to cure childhood brain cancers. We truly hope this leads to the elimination of all cancers. We are humbled by and so appreciate those who have and continue to support our efforts in this space."  -The Keller 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.
