<div><strong>Here's a bit more about Cookies4Cures!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, I'm Dana! I'm 14 years old and I'm the founder of Cookies4Cures, a nonprofit that raises money to fund research into rare pediatric diseases.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started baking on my 7th birthday to raise money for my friend, Mila, who has a rare disease called Batten. My first goal was $1000. Every weekend, I sold cookies around my neighborhood out of my red wagon. I taped a sign to it that said, “Cookies4Mila.” It took three months but I did it! Instead of stopping, I started a GoFundMe, recruited more kids, and held a bunch of bake sales (which I call "cookie pop-ups"). By the end of the year, my friends and I had raised $56,000, money that helped fund the first ever treatment for Mila’s form of Batten.

</div>
<div>After Mila started her therapy, my mom asked me, “Are you done?” I had just found out that my friend Ollie had been diagnosed with a rare condition called PANS (pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome). I decided to keep baking and my friends joined me. We started Cookies4PANS, and we raised over $30,000 to help the Stanford PANS Clinic hire a new postdoc researcher.

</div>
<div>While working on Cookies4PANS, I knew that I wanted to keep fundraising and advocating for rare pediatric diseases so I started my nonprofit, which I called Cookies4Cures. My dream is to someday have a Cookies4Cures campaign for every rare pediatric disease.
