“What is impressive about caring for these patients, in addition to their incredible sense of resilience and hope, is how they articulate their prognostic understanding.

They will make poignant comments from which you can intuit that they understand their prognosis.”

- Dr. Brandon Hayes-Lattin on the resilience and hope in adolescents and young adults with cancer (The ASCO Post): https://bit.ly/48y8fx9

HHH Foundation was thrilled to drop off twenty bags filled to the brim at OHSU Knight Cancer Institute earlier this month! Since no visitors are allowed right now, we hope these bags stuffed with goodies help keep patients busy. 😀 Included were adult coloring books, colored pencils, blankets, knitting & bracelet kits, and as always, as a tribute to Hugh, his favorite candy to have during chemo - sour patch kids! Over the years, your support has allowed us to donate over 600 stuffed bags and backpacks to OHSU! Thank you for this honor in Hugh’s memory! ❤️

It's AYA Cancer Awareness weeks! Our friends at First Descents share a great "crash course" in what exactly AYA (adolescent and young adult) means. Our namesake Hugh was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma at age 21 and quickly discovered there were a lot of unique challenges to having cancer as a young adult.

Just in time for Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week, the HHH Foundation was thrilled to do one of our semi-a...
