Crypto Community Raises Over $20 Million for Siqi Chen's Daughter Mira's Rare Brain Tumor Research
Dec 26, 2024, 04:43 AM
The cryptocurrency community has rallied to support Siqi Chen, whose daughter Mira was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma. A meme coin created in Mira's name has raised over $20 million in market cap, with 50% of the supply sent to Siqi and proceeds directed towards funding research for the rare disease. Additionally, a GoFundMe campaign initiated by Chen and his wife has raised over $153,000 to support Dr. Todd Hankinson's lab at the University of Colorado, the only facility globally focused on this specific tumor. The fundraising efforts, which have reached nearly $15 million, highlight a unique use of cryptocurrency to support medical research, with the community's response described as a 'Christmas miracle'.
