Caring Causes: Saving Sophie

Tracy Ryan, previously featured on The Doctors and National Geographic, is a cannabis advocate and the founder of SavingSophie.org (a nonprofit that provides financial support, homeopathic and western medicine education, and funding research to discover better treatments for diseases like cancer and autism to ill families).

In 2013, Tracy's 8 1/2 month old daughter Sophie was diagnosed with an Optic Pathway Giloma, an inoperable brain tumor. In hopes to save her daughter, Tracy decided to look for alternative ways to help her daughter and was introduced to the concept cannabis oil killing cancer. On a journey to help heal her daughter, Tracy founded Saving Sophie, a nonprofit that provides financial support, homeopathic and western medicine education, and funding research to discover better treatments for diseases like cancer and autism to ill families.

Why is Saving Sophie Important?
After meeting a world-renown cancer research doctor that agreed to study Sophie’s brain tumor tissue and blood, it was discovered Sophie’s cannabis treatment reactivated her body’s Natural Killer (NK) cells, a subset of immune cells that kill the most aggressive forms of cancers. Sophie should have gone blind years ago, but due to the amount of tumor shrinkage they have continued to see in a tumor that doesn’t normally shrink well, Sophie still sees today.
Due to these findings, two additional children who used cannabis alongside their cancer treatments have been enrolled in the study, both of which were terminal and should have succumbed to their diseases 3+ years ago. Based on the doctor’s preliminary results, she plans to work with Tracy Ryan to enroll additional patients, and further explore the effects of cannabis in those suffering from cancerous diseases.

Upcoming Event
Tracy is spearheading a unique fundraising event in Hollywood on October 12th The Saving Sophie Experience - A Journey To Find The Cure to not only bring awareness to this important cause, but to raise funds to expand cancer research at one of the top universities in southern California and enroll more patients battling this terrible disease. The Saving Sophie Experience-Journey to Find the Cure is an immersive scavenger hunt through a series of rooms that will put our attendees on a heroic mission to find a cure.
