Generation Cures - make it better

Rachel's Road to Cures

When Rachel was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor at 14-she felt helpless. But helplessness was replaced with hope at Children's Hospital Boston.

During her recovery, she created beaded jewelry to pass the time. But why not sell the jewelry to help the kids still in the hospital? The girl who'll be diagnosed with cancer next week-next year? Rachel chose to donate the profits-$10,000 worth of it last summer-to cancer research at Children's, home to the world's largest pediatric research enterprise.

A teenager. Donating $10,000 to cancer research. It's proof that anyone-EVERYONE-can make a difference. But imagine what we can do together?
