About The Isabella Santos Foundation

The Isabella Santos Foundation is dedicated to improving rare pediatric cancer treatment options to increase the survival rates of kids with cancer, expanding the scope of research, and supporting families dealing with cancer. The foundation is named after Isabella Santos who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in 2007. Isabella lived her life with an attitude of “beat cancer, grow my hair, live my dreams.” Sadly, Isabella lost her battle with cancer in 2012 at the age of seven. Today the Isabella Foundations core message is Beat (the odds), Grow (awareness), Live (without fear). Read more about Isabella Santos’ story here.
