Cure Charlotte

Cure Charlotte is a family-led awareness and support website dedicated to Charlotte Rufener and to children affected by neuroblastoma and other childhood illnesses. Created by Charlotte’s mother, Kristi, the site shares the family’s experience, including Charlotte’s diagnosis and treatment and the ways they have faced life after diagnosis. Its blog, news features, photo galleries, and videos help visitors learn about the family’s journey and connect with other families.

The website also highlights children diagnosed with neuroblastoma through its Meet the Fighters page, sharing stories of children in treatment, survivors, and those who have died. Cure Charlotte promotes childhood cancer awareness, including a September campaign, and provides information about neuroblastoma, support groups, specialist hospitals, and doctors. Visitors can contact Charlotte’s parents for information or a conversation.

The site offers awareness merchandise, with proceeds directed to Charlotte’s benefit account or selected nonprofit organizations focused on neuroblastoma research. Its donation page connects visitors with charitable groups, including Capital Candlelighters and Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which support families and childhood cancer research.
