Megan’s Mission

The Megan’s Mission Foundation is committed to realizing Megan’s dream of ending childhood cancer through advocacy and research.


New donation to cc-tdi

Megan’s Mission Foundation recently donated $70,000 to Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute to continue supporting two research studies for Rhabdomyosarcoma. This funding furthers cc-TDI’s initial work into two key areas – the continued testing of FDA approved drugs for efficacy on treating Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and furthering immunotherapy as a therapy option for alveolar and embryonal RMS. For more information about this important work, visit Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute. The complete press release is available at Furthering Megan’s Mission.

April 30 was our Megan’s 22nd angel birthday. We proudly celebrated in Portland, OR with the formal dedication of the “Megan Bugg Global Rhabdomyosarcoma Research Laboratory” at the Children's Cancer Therapy Development Institute. Thank you to Dr. Charles Keller and everyone at CC-TDI for turning Megan’s dream into a reality. Also, thank you to all of the amazing friends and family who traveled to share in our celebration. Happy Birthday Megan! You were definitely “the girl who did something.” Your life and legacy lives on and your mission continues.
