On December 5, 2024, Shir for Life launched the inaugural International Neuroblastoma Awareness Day—a powerful moment that united more than 20 organizations across 20+ countries in a shared mission: to improve outcomes for children with neuroblastoma.
At the center of this historic day was the International Neuroblastoma Summit, a live global webinar bringing together leading neuroblastoma experts from around the world.
