Michelle DeJong's Fighter Foundation

Inspired by Michelle DeJong; we are a hope-based 501c3 focused on improving the quality of life for A

Fighter Foundation was founded in honor of Michelle Boyd de Jong and her fight with Glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of brain cancer, for which, there is at this time, no cure. Despite being faced with a death sentence, Michelle dedicated the fight for her life toward helping others live more fully. She took every opportunity to raise awareness about brain tumors and the need

for better treatments. Michelle was an advocate for glioblastoma related clinical trials and contributed toward multiple studies including the ultimate sacrifice when she donated her brain tumor tissue for research after her death. Fighter Foundation continues her mission by organizing events that promote brain tumor awareness and support funding for brain tumor research and resources for brain tumor patients, families and caregivers. A portion of annual fundraising is dedicated to cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center. For current events and opportunities to get involved with Fighter Foundation, please email [email protected]

I haven't posted here in too long but today, on Valentine’s Day, I want to share what truly matters to me—LOVE. Because the legacies I care most about are family and friendships.
Just because Michelle passed away on this day nine years ago doesn’t mean this day can’t be celebrated. It means it MUST be celebrated. Because when you have something truly great, the loss is just as profound. And within that loss, I've learned that gratitude is possible.
Grief, sorrow, and tears will always be part of me. But over time, the tears shift—from devastation to joy—because of gratitude. Gratitude for love that was deep enough to leave such a lasting impact.
Today, we honor Michelle, I honor love. I honor the beauty of connections that outlive time.

I hope you'll watch & remember with me: https://www.facebook.com/michelleboyddejong/videos/1705604559678878/?rdid=qFiScoevGa6npX4n #
