Our beginning

Why we started Ast'Ro Foundation

A brain tumor changes everything.

Not only for the patient, but also for partners, children, parents and friends.

Through Romane's journey, we discovered how many families face similar challenges every day.

We created Ast'Ro Foundation to support pioneering research, strengthen human connections and bring hope to families navigating life's toughest moments.
