Live Like Erin Foundation

Remembering Erin Kramer (McGinty) through supporting families in the Northeast Ohio community who have been impacted by breast cancer.

The Live Like Erin Foundation was created in memory of Erin Kramer (McGinty). A devoted mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend to many who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2020. Our purpose is to honor Erin by helping others in need and making charitable donations to causes that she was passionate about. Live Like Erin ( ) is a way of life, to do what you can to be there for others just like Erin was there for so many.

The Live Like Erin Foundation is crossing state borders now to help out our most recent mother and her family!
This 36 yr old mother in Centerville, IN was initially diagnosed in 2016 with breast cancer while raising her 1 yr old daughter.
She went through chemo, a bilateral mastectomy, radiation, and reconstruction with high hopes to put that chapter behind them.
As we all have seen, much like with Erin, the cancer returned. It returned in 2023 as Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
She has spent the past 3 years receiving chemo every 3 weeks while having to drive almost 120 miles round trip for each treatment.
This former accountant hasn’t been able to work and she no longer is eligible for disability. She is fortunate to have a caring husband that has been by her side through everything.
I think about her 11 yr old daughter that really only knows her mother as being sick for much of her childhood.
I’m so happy we are able to help this family and that we found our way to each other because they need and deserve our support❤️☘️🍍

On the eve of the Live Like Erin volleyball fundraiser, it’s a great time to say thank you to everyone that has supported us over the years. We truly are impacting families and spreading hope and some relief along the way.

I had the opportunity to speak with the sweetest mother of 2 young girls residing in North Ridgeville. This 39 yr old mother was diagnosed in 2023 with Stage 4 breast cancer that spread to her bones.
She has spent the past 3 years going through various chemo treatments but you would never know due to her positive outlook on life. Much of it has to do with being strong for her 14 and 5 yr old daughters. There is also optimism because she has a solid support system with her husband and being surrounded by other family and friends.
The downfall has been her inability to have fulltime employment due to constant treatments and not being able to work in her childcare profession with her condition. She’s been on disability but those funds can only go so far trying to help with providing for her family.
The LLE Foundation donation will help ease some of those burdens and hopefully keep the positive outlook going for this family. This is exactly the type of support Erin would have wanted to be a part of ❤️☘️🍍

St Patrick’s Day edition☘️☘️

It’s only fitting for our Erin to be spreading her Irish magic to another Irish mother and family in need on this day.

This Brunswick, OH mother was diagnosed a couple of years back with breast cancer at the age of 43. She recently learned her cancer has metastasized into Stage 4. The treatments have begun again which includes chemo and it’s forced her to resign from her career role as a teacher to focus on herself.
She is fortunate enough to have her husband and 5 yr old son by her side but the reality of the cancer spreading weighs heavy on her mind.

Our donation to this family will hopefully provide some positive vibes and ease some of the financial burdens they are experiencing💕☘️🍍
