Rhonda and Dr. Sam Hassenbusch: Dr. Hassenbusch is a brain cancer survivor and the M.D. Anderson neurosurgeon who operated on Dr. Marnie Rose. As part of his treatment, he was the first patient to combine the immunotherapy protocol funded by the foundation with the brain cancer drug Temodar.
Michael and Dr. Kelly DeScioli and Michelle and Dave Feavel: Dr. DeScioli is a Baylor College of Medicine pediatric resident at Texas Children’s Hospital and a brain cancer survivor. Michelle and Dave Feavel are her parents.

These efforts will do much more than inject life into Houston’s party
scene. All profits from ticket sales and sponsorships benefit the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation, established in memory of Dr. Marnie Rose, a University of Texas-Houston Medical School pediatric resident at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital who starred in the critically acclaimed ABC reality television series, Houston Medical, to raise awareness of brain cancer. Tragically, Dr. Rose died from complications of brain cancer five weeks after the show’s final episode aired in August 2002.
Since its 2003 inception, the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation has raised $850,000 through its Run for the Rose/Ridin’ for the Rose events. Funding benefits an immunotherapy clinical trial at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and initiatives at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, including the creation and development of the Pediatric Palliative Care Program and Marnie’s Garden in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and the Rose Pod (a pod of pediatric rooms). In 2007, the foundation’s funding for Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital is earmarked for the first Life Flight helicopter specifically outfitted for pediatric patients.
