To date, over $158,000 has been raised for Tali’s Fund. The funds provided by Tali's Fund have helped lead to a large collaborative study with contributions from 37 institutions from within Canada and around the world. The team of researchers at the Arthur and Sonia Labatt Brain Tumour Research Centre at SickKids Hospital recently published a research paper in the journal The Lancet Oncology. It is the largest study published to date on ATRT (Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumour). Their data provides a crucial first framework for the development of clinical trials. Research is ongoing with a second publication already in the works. Funds continue to be needed so that this crucial work can continue.

Recent and Upcoming Events


  • Watch for a new and exciting Tali's Fund event coming soon!  If you would like to know more or to be part of our event planning team,  please contact us at info@talisfund.org.


  • July 2013: The song “Tears of an Angel”, co-written and recorded by RyanDan (Tali’s uncles), was featured on the T.V. show “So You Think You Can Dance”.  Although the topic of the dance was bullying, it helped bring even more attention to this beautiful song, written in 2007 for Tali.    The song has received over 2.5 million views on YouTube.

Here's the video of the dance from the show:


  • May 25, 2013: The 5th Energy Karate event for Tali's Fund took place.  $12,000 was raised for Tali's Fund from the Board Breaking Seminar!  Thanks so much to Energy Karate for organizing and hosting this amazing event, and to the sensei's and volunteers who helped run the seminar, raffle and bake sale.  We are most appreciative of Energy Karate's ongoing support for Tali's Fund. We would also like to thank all those who participated in the Board Breaking Seminar and those who came by to show support.  You are all making a difference!!
  • We are grateful for a very special and meaningful donation to Tali's fund from Samantha Duke. Samantha raised funds by making and selling jewellery.  She kindly donated some of the funds to Tali's Fund in loving memory of her best friend Eden Worth who passed away on May 2, 2013 from brain cancer.
