Why D-Feet Cancer?

D-Feet Cancer was formed in late 2021 after parents Jen and Will promised their 12-year-old son, Dalton, they wouldn’t stop fighting this disease to help kids like him. With support from family, friends, and community, D-Feet Cancer was formed in late 2021. In January 2023, D-Feet Cancer wrote a check for $100,000.08 (8 was Dalton’s favorite number) to fund one year of Ewing Sarcoma research. This research, in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh and St. Baldrick’s Foundation, aims to specifically target Ewing Sarcoma cells via cell surface receptors while leaving healthy cells alone. If successful, this treatment could significantly increase survivorship while limiting the often debilitating and sometimes fatal side effects of traditional chemotherapy. Thank you to all of our sponsors, donors, and supporters for allowing us to fund this critical research.

D-Feet Cancer hopes to continue to raise awareness of pediatric cancer in general and Ewing Sarcoma specifically in the years to come. 100% of donations and all event proceeds will directly fund Ewing Sarcoma research to help the approximately 300 U.S. kids each year, who, just like Dalton, are diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma.
