Why Give to Gateway

At Gateway, it is always and only about the patient

Patient representatives sit at every level of the Gateway organization, up to and including the Board of Directors.

Never again am I going to look at a birthday and say ‘I can’t believe I’m going to be another year older.’ Now I’m saying, ‘I’m so glad I’m going to be another year older!’

Gateway Stories: Liesel

For Liesel, a Gateway-funded clinical trial offered hope for the future after being diagnosed with a brain tumor while in high school.

Liesel participated in a research study being led by Sarah Leary, MD at Seattle Children’s Hospital investigating the safety of ‘tumor paint’, which illuminates the tumor during brain surgery allowing healthy tissue to be spared, helping to make brain surgery more effective. Using Dr. Leary’s innovative ‘tumor paint’ surgeons successfully removed Liesel’s tumor without causing irreversible damage to her brain.
