Introduction

Hello friends! I'm Shawnee Badger, and I'm excited to join forces with the Dragon Master Foundation, combining my love of being ACTIVE and an ACTIVIST: I'm raising money as a runner with Team Fired Up. All donations go to the Foundation, whose mission is finding and accelerating cures for pediatric cancers, and cancer in general, by getting data and information into the hands of cancer researchers across the globe. They also work with patients and their families, providing them with financial assistance, information and resources. I just finished the 2023 LA Marathon - my first! - and running the 2024 Dopey Challenge during the Disney World Marathon Weekend is my next big feat of endurance. The Dopey Challenge is a 5k, a 10k, a half marathon, and a full marathon, all run in 4 consecutive days. I hope you can support me and this amazing organization with any amount - and thank you so much!

About The Dragon Master Foundation

The Dragon Master Foundation is a data driven foundation with a mission to find and accelerate cures for cancers and other diseases by fostering and rewarding a community of collaboration and innovation. They seek to expedite research, development, and treatments as well as to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. They promote the sharing of information and seek to make research more effective by empowering collaboration. They believe that if we make data from previous and current trials and research more accessible, we will find a cure to cancer in our lifetime.

Here is how they do it: the Dragon Master Foundation is seeking to give cancer researchers worldwide, access to the data they need to find cures. This is done by building shared research infrastructure, creating quality data from patients, and ensuring that data is readily available for use. For a patient, the path starts at diagnosis and collecting data every step of the way that can be used not just for that patient's benefit, but also research as a whole. For a researcher, it involves sharing their raw data sets (genomic, proteomic, etc) so that data doesn't go unused after its initial collection.

The Dragon Master Foundation is also proud to serve cancer patients and their families by creating connections and providing financial assistance, information, and resources.
