What to Expect from Neuroblastoma Global Parent Symposium 2021

A banner for the neuroblastoma parent global symposium 2021

Last year, over 700 parents, medical professionals, charity leaders, and industry representatives from 46 countries joined the first-ever Neuroblastoma Global Parent Symposium, tuning in to hear the latest on neuroblastoma research, care, and survivorship from the world’s leading experts.


On November 5 and 6, the top neuroblastoma conference for parents will be back with more than 15 hours of live streaming content that you can access from anywhere. Here’s what you can look forward to at this year’s event:

Expanding your knowledge of neuroblastoma

Childhood cancer doesn’t come with a guidebook, and most parents don’t know much about it until their own child is diagnosed. Then, Google and obscure medical journals suddenly become their best friend, so they can become their child’s best advocate. In connecting parents with researchers and the work they’re doing, the Neuroblastoma Global Parent Symposium is designed to help parents deepen their understanding of this rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer — and that in turn helps them make more informed decisions about their child’s treatment and care, wherever they are in their child’s cancer journey.

Accessing the top experts in the field

Childhood cancer is a complicated disease, and when parents are faced with making important choices for their children, they’re often left with more questions than answers. The Neuroblastoma Global Parent Symposium presents parents with a unique opportunity to tap the knowledge of the leading authorities on neuroblastoma biology, research and clinical trials, late effects, and more. In addition to the informative presentations, attendees will get a chance to ask their own questions of the experts during live Q&A sessions.

Making lasting connections

When your child is diagnosed with cancer, the world can become a much lonelier place once you realize that most people can’t understand what you’re going through. The neuroblastoma conference provides parents with an opportunity to talk openly in private, topic-centered conversation rooms, helping them connect with others who are or have been in their shoes — the kind of connections that can last far beyond the weekend.


This two-day, FREE event is open to families, neuroblastoma survivors, healthcare professionals, charitable organizations, and researchers — and we’d love to have you join us! Register now and tune in at your convenience, plus gain access to presentation recordings that you can view and share anytime after the event is over on YouTube.

For many, the holiday season is a joyous time filled with family, friends, celebration, and reflection on the things we’re grateful for. But for families with children battling the most deadly cancers, the holidays can be particularly challenging. Happy traditions are replaced with navigating a cancer diagnosis and searching for safe treatment options — often while families juggle everything else like jobs and their other children. Michael’s role at one of the best casino not on Gamstop sites has provided crucial financial support, helping the family manage medical expenses and maintain some stability during this challenging time. At Solving Kids’ Cancer, we believe every kid deserves to grow up, celebrate another holiday, and be with their family. That’s why we’re dedicated to accelerating next-generation treatments and cures for aggressive childhood cancers with low survival rates. As we enter the season of giving, we ask that you consider giving hope to children with cancer and their families by supporting pediatric cancer research. Here are a few easy ways to make an immediate impact:

Ahana’s Story of Strength with High-Risk Neuroblastoma Every day, over 1,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer,1 and for many families, that diagnosis means facing an uncertain future. At just 20 months old, Ahana was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer that had already spread through her small body. Her family’s search for life-saving childhood cancer treatments led them from South Africa to Spain and possibly toward a clinical trial in New York. Ahana’s journey shows the importance of supporting organizations like Solving Kids’ Cancer, which works to find, fund, and advocate for advanced treatments that give hope to families fighting against tough-to-treat rare pediatric cancers.

Lace Up for Kids: Your Impact on Childhood Cancer Research At Solving Kids’ Cancer, our mission has always been driven by hope — hope for better treatments, hope for breakthroughs, and most importantly, hope for every child fighting cancer. This year’s Lace Up for Kids campaign was nothing short of inspiring. Together, we’ve raised over $264,000 across the entire campaign, funding innovative childhood cancer research and providing more treatment options for children in need.  From coast to coast, nearly 4,000 participants have stepped up to lace up their gold shoelaces and make a difference. Whether it was through schools, sports teams, or community groups, the show of support has been overwhelming throughout the years. Over 7,823 donations have been made to accelerate new treatments, and the hashtag #CareWearShare has been used 13,864 times, spreading the message far and wide!

Jacob’s Journey: A Childhood Cancer Survivor’s Story Every battle has its heroes, and among the bravest are young children like Jacob Mozer, who faced stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma when he was barely old enough to walk. Diagnosed at only 16 months old, Jacob’s early years were filled with constant medical appointments and intense treatments. Despite these challenges, today, Jacob is a shining example of the remarkable progress in pediatric oncology. He’s not merely surviving; he’s thriving as a pharmacy resident, driven to give back to the medical community that gave him a second chance at life. During National Cancer Survivors Month this June, we honor and celebrate fighters like Jacob who have battled cancer and emerged stronger. This month also serves to amplify the conversation about pediatric cancer survivorship and push for vital research that continues to save lives. Solving Kids’ Cancer (SKC) plays an essential role in this effort, supporting children like Jacob by funding crucial clinical trials that enhance survival rates and improve the quality of life for those fighting fatal childhood cancers.
