FAST-TRACKING  CANCER BREAKTHROUGHS IN REAL TIME

JKTG-funded pioneering collaborative creates project that mimics cell behavior allowing researchers to simulate tumor growth & treatment impact.

Vision and Approach

All JKTG Foundation work is rooted in relentless curiosity. Asking the question, “What can be done differently to make things better and more effective? The Foundation’s unique approach differs from other grant-making foundations and is grounded in the thoughtful selection and support of unbiased research that fosters collaboration and public discussion.

Driving Research

In addition to this work, our founder and president, Ted Giovanis, committed $35 million to Johns Hopkins Medicine creating the Giovanis Institute for Translational Cell Biology. The Institute brings together researchers from different disciplines to study metastasis, or how cancer spreads to other parts of the body. Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths and there’s still much to learn.

From the high-stakes world of federal courtrooms to the high-speed turns of race tracks, Ted Giovanis’s books capture a life built on determination, strategic thinking, and results.

 

In Beyond Fear, Giovanis recounts his extraordinary six-year battle with the U.S. Department, a fight that began with a single email and culminated in one of the largest Medicare court settlements in history. Representing 730 hospitals, he took on the federal government, navigated complex policy battles, and ultimately secured a $3 billion victory. Framed by his humble beginnings and the love and loss of his wife, Jayne, it is a powerful story of persistence, intellect, and the pursuit of justice.

 

In Focus Forward, the pace shifts from legal strategy to the race track, where Giovanis has spent three decades competing at speeds of 180 miles per hour. Starting his racing career at forty-six, he discovered that the discipline, teamwork, and adaptability needed in motorsport mirror the qualities that lead to success in life and business. He shares lessons learned in the driver’s seat, from preparation and resilience to embracing challenges head-on.

 

Together, these books offer a rare double perspective: one from the courtroom and one from the cockpit, united by the same driving force to face obstacles with courage, think strategically, and always keep pushing forward.
