Rachel Lynn Henley Foundation

Rachel Lynn Henley Foundation Our mission is bringing joy and support to young people, families, and caregivers impacted by childhood cancer.

One of Rachel's last wishes was to create an organization that would allow her to donate to various types of cancer research such as pediatrics and sarcomas, alongside of Relay for Life, and activities that ease the discomfort of cancer patients. In our lives, we have all been affected by cancer in some way, shape or form. Rachel always wanted a way in which she could use all that she had learned

in order to help those in similar circumstances. For this reason we have decided to create the foundation in her honor, and attempt to carry out her wishes as best we can. The Rachel Lynn Henley Foundation is an opportunity to contribute towards a cure as well as make our hearts happy knowing that we are doing something she wants and loves.

Since we have a lot of new followers, we wanted to share this video again. This is what we work so hard to do - providing smiles and hope to local kids and young adults with a cancer diagnosis. This was so important to Rachel and we continue to carry on her vision each and every day. ❤️🐞

It has been an unbelievable eleven years since Rachel’s life here with us came to an end on June 2, 2015. We miss her so much - the big things and the small things. Every single little moment of sharing life together.

As a family, we spent time and energy in the past few weeks consciously and purposefully working to preserve the legacy that our parents left to us in a shared family cabin lovingly known to us simply as “the beach”. It takes a lot of love and work to maintain this shared treasure, but the value is immeasurable. The beach was a haven for Rachel throughout her life as it is for all of us.

That work brings to mind the parallels with the vision that Rachel left for us in our family foundation. We work together purposefully and with love to carry forward her hope to bring joy, empathy and smiles to local young people living with cancer, along with their families and caregivers. It also helps to fill our hearts and souls, and we are so grateful for this gift. We will continue to work with love and intention to preserve this beautiful legacy that she left for us all.

It is our hope today that everyone will honor Rachel and others facing difficult times by living the days you are given with love, with purpose, and with a smile on your face and in your heart. Hold the ones you love a little closer and a little longer. Listen to one another with kindness, and with understanding. Be there for one another. Chase your dreams. Life can be unpredictable, so live every moment with love, with laughter, with peace, and with intention.

To all of you, we thank you for being by our side always, and for helping us to share Rachel’s love through the work that we have the honor to do in her name.

Thank you for helping us find our way, sweet girl. There are no words that can fully express how we miss you, and we will love you forever and always. ❤🐞
