Retinoblastoma Family Groups: we aim to develop single-state and regional family groups across the USA, so that within five years, every family will have access to face-to-face support close to home. Each family group will provide a program of social activities, information for families, a small grants fund for families in need, and local advocacy. National Retinoblastoma Strategy: we aim to develop a national collaborative multi-center approach to retinoblastoma care, encompassing awareness campaigns, evidence based medical care and family support initiatives to improve care for all affected children, adult survivors and their families in America. Rati’s Challenge: In September 2006, Daisy’s Eye Cancer Fund launched Rati's Challenge to address the needs of families affected by retinoblastoma in Africa. The Kenya National Retinoblastoma Strategy was launched through this program in September 2008, to build a model for capacity building and sustainable care of children in developing countries. One Rb World: We aim to promote international collaboration to advance high quality retinoblastoma research and delivery of effective care to all children around the world. Annual One Rb World working meetings inspire medical professionals and parent / survivor advocates to become engaged in collaborative work, and advance international sustainable projects that have capacity to rapidly improve awareness, clinical care and family support. We work in full collaboration with DECF Chapters, prospering from shared experience and energy to keep our children at the heart of all we do.
