December, 2008

Dear PLGA Families, Friends and Colleagues:

As 2008 quickly winds down, we hope that this letter reaches you in times of good health, happiness and holiday spirit!

We have some exciting news to report regarding 5 new PLGA targeted research studies. In November, the PLGA Foundation, in partnership with the National Brain Tumor Society, announced the recipients of our 2008 PLGA Research Awards. Funds for these projects were raised by PLGA Families (through the Brain Tumor Society's Ride for Research) and identified through The Brain Tumor Society's request for proposal and peer review processes. These PLGA specific research projects take our children one step closer to more effective treatments and a cure. For more information, please check our website at 5 NEW PLGA Research Projects.

Please accept our humblest wishes for continued strength, health and prosperity in 2009!

Amy Weinstein
Executive Director
