After a three year battle, Brennan has now been in remission for fourteen months. Through the Press On Foundation, Tara, her family and friends have raised more than seven hundred and seventy thousand for pediatric cancer research. The Foundation also just recently donated three hundred thousand to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital’s Pediatric Genome project where researchers will sequence the genome for AML in hopes of finding a cure.
