The average survival rate for people diagnosed with astrocytoma and glioblastoma is two years. Thanks to critical new research my father, Carl Horton lasted somewhat longer. This research is imperative to the future outcomes of those suffering from terminal brain cancers. Unfortunately, the standard of care is still lacking. It takes quite a bit of money to fund research that can save lives. We know so little of these cancers. If you knew Carl or someone that has suffered from these illnesses, please donate. All money donated here will go to fund St. Vincent's Brain Tumor Center Research Fund in Carl's name. He was an amazing man and died too young. We hope that future research will prevent and alleviate the pain and suffering of all those like him.
