We are here to crush all pediatric cancers by funding research for new and improved treatments as well as helping families who are currently going through treatment. To provide financial support to families and fund organizations researching advanced cancer treatments and cures. To be a beacon of hope, light, and love in the overwhelming darkness of a cancer diagnosis. Most importantly, to empower
children battling cancer to be fearless. That is the true purpose of THE FEARLESS FIGHTERS FOUNDATION, INC
The amount of support we received was overwhelming. From friends, family, and neighbors, to local businesses, elected officials, sports personalities, and even strangers—so many people reached out to help in some way, shape, or form. We were also very fortunate to be in a position where Dylan never had to be alone. My wife was able to quit her job and stay with Dylan during the week, and I came after work and stayed with him on the weekends. However, during our countless day/night hospital stays, we witnessed first-hand just how many families didn’t have the resources, support, and help (like we did) to allow them to stay together throughout the entirety of their child’s treatment. Seeing the anguish on a mother or father’s face as they left their child’s room because they couldn’t afford not to work was just as heartbreaking as seeing a child sitting by themselves during the day. Something had to change, and we vowed to be the ones to do that just. And, we knew that the only way we could possibly pay that back the outpouring of love, affection, and support, was by paying it forward to other families battling pediatric cancer.
