PACIFIC PEDIATRIC NEURO-ONCOLOGY CONSORTIUM FOUNDATI

The PNOC Foundation was founded to support the work of PNOC in 2013 by North Bay parents Bruce and Allyn Campbell. In 2010 their son George started experiencing morning headaches and nausea. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor, an ependymoma, the size of a small orange, located on the right side of his brain. George underwent 10 hours of surgery and 31 sessions of subsequent radiation therapy. Seven years after his diagnosis, George and his family cherish their time together and fully enjoy the opportunities life has given them. They know they’re blessed and pledge to make the difference in the lives of other children and their families affected by brain tumors by raising awareness and funds for research and clinical trials. Our fundraising events have provided critical financial support to PNOC as they have established themselves as the leading research consortium in this field, and provided children access to the world's most promising treatments.
