JTHF was founded by Tim and Cindy Hayden in September 2004 after their 12 year-old son Jeffrey was diagnosed with an inoperable malignant brain tumor known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Today they have joined forces with The Cure Starts Now to continue Jeffrey’s legacy by funding promising research.

We hope you join us in honoring Jeffrey at our annual Fall Golf Classic!

JTHF has been a major contributor to the DIPG Registry, which is located within Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. The DIPG registry is funded by non-profit organizations similar to JTHF, with the united goal to find a cure for not only DIPG cancer, but for all pediatric cancers. Join the fight and help make a difference against pediatric brain tumors by donating now.

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.
