Our Mission

To support children with cancer and their families
by providing emotional, educational
and financial support, while increasing awareness and funding research toward a cure.

A Letter from Our Founder

We understand the challenges families face when their child is diagnosed with cancer. Life for the entire family changes forever and the journey is not easy. Now more than ever, our childhood cancer families need our help.

For the past ten years, our organization has remained committed to assisting families cope by providing practical resources within their community. We know all too well that this horrible disease can disconnect you from life as you knew it, friends, family and even your spouse.

In fighting for your child’s life, your emotional, physical and financial well-being is at risk. We believe that empowering our families through resources will help parents cope with their child’s disease and make their experience with cancer as positive as possible (if such a concept exists).

Childhood cancer does not discriminate. It does not care if the economy is bad. Unfortunately it continues to prey upon our innocent beautiful children at the rate of more than 12,500 new diagnoses each year in the U.S.

The following quote was sent to me 10 years ago by my sister, Debi (Keaton’s aunt) when we simply had a vision to help other families with cancer, I love it.

"Never doubt that a group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." ~ Margaret Mead
