Dave and Michelle's daughter Claire was diagnosed with cancer at just four years old. She battled her way through 17 rounds of chemo, a massive surgery, and endured over 200 inpatient stays at John's Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. They are blessed to now say Claire is in remission, however, after watching their daughter fight for her life for over a year, Dave and Michelle realized it was
their calling to stand up, and make a difference. In November of 2015 Dave and Michelle partnered with their friend and local business owner Scott Connor, to create the Forever Fierce Foundation. Since then the small group has now doubled, with the addition of Marketing Director Dan Kesterson, and Directors of Funding Allocation: Dr. David Loeb, and RN Lauren Wendt. We have created this foundation with one goal in mind: ending childhood cancer. The United States allocates just 3.8% of funding spent on cancer research to all 20+ types of childhood cancer to share. We believe that until that changes, it is our responsibility to privately fund childhood cancer research by conducting fundraisers throughout the year. We donate directly to research labs working on new, safer, and innovative ways to treat childhood cancer.
