Graeter's Cones for the Cure is about more than just ice cream. Your support makes a difference for kids fighting cancer by helping to fund groundbreaking research. Each of our Cones Ambassador Warriors has their own story to tell about their battle and how much your support means to them.
Wyatt was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, called Ependymoma, when he was 3 years old. He had a long, but successful, surgery to remove the entire tumor which was followed by 30 sessions of proton radiation. He’s now 5 and just as sweet, kind and funny as ever. The more he is learning and understanding what it means to have had a brain tumor the more he has been vocal about wanting to help find a cure for everyone—specifically by raising money and being a brain tumor scientist when he grows up!
About The Cure Starts Now:
The Cure Starts Now represents something truly different – a grassroots effort dedicated to, not just fighting one cancer, but the elimination of ALL cancers.
In 2008, in support of The Cure Starts Now, Graeter’s ice cream auctioned off a once in a lifetime chance to create your own flavor. The winners of the auction worked with Graeter's to help develop a flavor to honor Elena Desserich, the inspiration for The Cure Starts Now. Now a Limited Edition seasonal flavor, Elena's Blueberry Pie honors the memories of all young lives affected by pediatric cancer and supports The Cure Starts Now's mission to find the Homerun Cure for all cancers.
