The Ethan Davies Fellowship was established by Shannon and Christie-Lee Davies in recognition of their son Ethan, who is a survivor of paediatric ependymoma.

The Fellowship aims to enhance the research strategy of the Telethon Kids Cancer Centre (a research unit within the Telethon Kids Institute) by providing support for “inbound” and “outbound” visiting fellows to undertake collaborative childhood brain cancer research.

Fellowship recipients are asked to use these opportunities in part to establish collaborative links with paediatric ependymoma researchers worldwide for the benefit of the Telethon Kids Cancer Centre and the international cancer research community.

The Fellowship builds on the success of the Ethan Davies Scholarship for Brain Cancer Research, which was established by Shannon and Christie-Lee in May 2012.

With the support of the Ethan Davies Fellowship, the Telethon Kids Institute hopes to accelerate the development and introduction of new and improved treatments to prevent and better treat this devastating cause of illness in children.

Shandi Wagner, 22, is a double-major graduate of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN, Class of 2009. This is a remarkable achievement, especially since Shandi underwent surgery to remove a spinal cord tumor in 2008. Doctors in Minnesota referred Shandi to the pediatric neurosurgery program of Michael Edwards, MD, chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. In this June 18, 2009 video, Shandi, her mom Carol and Dr. Edwards discuss the surgery and recovery.
