WHO WE ARE
Neuro Pineal Pathway Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in November 2018 by Melissa Frierson, MBA, CAA. Our mission is to uncover the root causes of pineal gland tumors through cutting-edge research and to empower survivors and families—children and adults alike—with trauma-informed support, wellness education, and financial assistance. We envision a future where early detection and prevention of neurological trauma are universal, and every survivor has the resources to rebuild their life with confidence and resilience.
