CAM FUND Launched to Fight Childhood Brain Cancer

Non-Profit Group Raises Funds to Promote Vital Research

AUGUSTA, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CAM
FUND (www.camfund.org),
a non-profit organization, has been established to fund medical research
into innovative therapies and cures for childhood brain cancer. The
non-profit group has been secured under The Community Foundation for the
Central Savannah River Area (www.cfcsra.org).
The Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that
acts as a catalyst to help focus local philanthropy on pressing and
changing community needs and receives funds on behalf of many different
charitable organizations.

CAM
FUND was founded by Terri and Mark Rettig to honor the memory of
their grandson, Caiden Ash Murray, who passed away in 2014. Caiden had a
large, malignant Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET). He died just
four days before his third birthday. Caiden had shown no symptoms of a
brain tumor. He displayed only flu-like symptoms just 12 hours before
the ambulance was called.

CAM FUND raises money through various events to support research into
all types of childhood brain cancers. The fundraisers scheduled include
a weekly breakfast sale and monthly pizza lunch at Molex, LLC in Auburn
Hills, MI, dinners, and a recent road rally in Rochester, MI. Also, the
First Annual Caiden’s Charity Golf Classic will take place next year,
Sept. 12, 2016, at the Woodside Country Club in Aiken, SC.

CAM FUND will provide ongoing financial support to doctors and
researchers at the Georgia Regents University Medical Center in Augusta
for their work in the area of immunotherapy.

The CAM FUND logo was inspired by “Mr. Lion,” a stuffed animal that was
Caiden’s constant companion. “We want to honor Caiden’s memory while
supporting innovative medical exploration that may help other children,”
said Terri Rettig. “We have met brilliant scientists who are doing
remarkable work in this field, and we will help them continue their
research.”

About PNET

Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET) describes tumors that occur
primarily in the cerebrum, but can spread to other parts of the brain
and spine. PNET’s are very rare and are thought to develop from
primitive (undifferentiated) nerve cells in the brain. PNET’s contain
underdeveloped brain cells, are highly malignant, and tend to spread
throughout the central nervous system.
