Endure to Cure Pediatric Cancer Foundation (E2C) is a non-profit foundation that raises funds to aid in the research and treat of pediatric cancer, and/or provide support for pediatric cancer patients. Endure to Cure Pediatric Cancer Foundation was founded by former Wall Street business professional, Jason Sissel.
Its mission is to endure and conquer great physical challenges in order to advance cures for pediatric cancer, to serve as an inspiration to people worldwide, and to unite those who have been affected by cancer.[1]
History
Endure to Cure was inspired by a conversation between E2C's founder, Jason Sissel, and his grandfather several months before the latter died of cancer. Sissel later resigned from his career on Wall Street in order to follow a higher calling.[2]
Team Endure to Cure
Endure to Cure has a team of grassroots fundraisers known as "Team Endure to Cure," or more informally "Team E2C."
