We love Kelsey!

Today on , we are especially honored to recognize Kelsey Pease, a Neuro-Oncology Social Worker at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. For Kelsey, the most meaningful part of her work is walking alongside families, helping them feel seen and supported during life's most overwhelming moments.

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is proud to partner with social workers like Kelsey, who understand that collaboration is key to providing comprehensive care. By working together, we connect families with specialized resources and a dedicated community, ensuring they never have to navigate their journey alone.

Please join us in thanking Kelsey and all social workers for their dedication in the comments below!

Cal's Angels CUREage Riders departed Lurie Children's yesterday morning for an extraordinary 450+ mile journey across 5 days. Each mile honors a child fighting cancer and brings Cal's Angels closer to their $400,000 research goal.

From Chicago to Wisconsin and back, these riders carry hope, determination, and the stories of the kids who inspire Cal's Angels every day. Among the riders is Dr. Vytautas Sapiega, a Pediatric Intensivist, at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago Central DuPage Hospital. We're proud to have one of our own on the ride and partner with Cal's Angels to provide hope for cancer patients and fund critical cancer research!

Follow their daily updates for miles, stories, and the incredible kids they ride for. Support the riders: charity.pledgeit.org/CalsAngelsCUREage2025Ride
