Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation

In searching for information regarding Christine Ihling, I came upon this article about a fund raiser that was held for the Meghan Bradley Foundation last month. You can click on the link to learn more about this organization and about pediatric brain cancer. Meghan was a beautiful girl who was a victim of this horrible disease. She attended the same high school that my children went to. Her parents have created a fund to raise awareness of the disease and to also raise funds for research in combating it so that other families don't have to suffer

Quick Facts

Pediatric Brain Tumors have surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer related deaths in children. Approximately 3,140 children under the age of 20 are diagnosed with primary brain tumors; of that number approximately, 2000 of these children are ages 16 and under. Science has yet to discover the causes of these primary brain tumors, however, current research is being focused on both genetic and environmental factors.

Celebrating Meghan’s Life
“Through all of your heartfelt participation in events like this, Meghan’s memory lives on.” With those words Ileen Bradley of Branchburg welcomed 80-plus local women to the second annual “Ladies Night Out” to benefit the Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation on Feb. 21 at Soriano’s Parkside in Bridgewater. Ileen was joined by Dino Mencarini, owner of Abundance Vineyards in Lodi, CA, and wine consultant Chin Vaghela of Victory Selections in Cranbury, in hosting an evening of wine tasting, small plates and auction bidding. The event honored Ileen’s daughter Meghan, who died at the age of 16 in November 2004 after a battle with brain cancer, and raised thousands of dollars for pediatric brain cancer research.
