Read moreKnowing yourself is really important in establishing a sustainable balance for yourself. You've got to love what you do. Your career is not just a job. It's a hobby, it's a passion, and if you don't get joy out of what you do, you're in the wrong field.

Read moreAs caregivers, clinicians are face-to-face with how illnesses and health conditions affect their patients. They are best positioned to come up with the right research questions because they know what treatments or tools are needed to make a difference in their patient’s lives. If there are researchers who are keen on doing this work, it’s important to support them and allow that research to happen.

Read moreThe most rewarding part of what I do is watching the career trajectories and successes of the trainees and students I've worked with. Seeing them take on leadership roles is very exciting. The other thing I love is seeing my research actually transform into policy or standard of care.

We believe there’s nothing we can’t do with your support. It can take years to turn scientific breakthrough into new interventions and treatments. Funding helps speed the pace of change. When given the resources, we can bring transformative therapies – and hope – out of the laboratory and into the clinic to save and improve children’s lives.
