OUR MISSION
Lucy – a sweet, spunky kid who loved dancing and glitter – was born in 2011. In 2014, she was diagnosed with leukemia. In 2020, she ran out of treatment options for pediatric cancer patients and died at the age of 8.
The Lucy Strong Foundation was created in her memory because we don’t want this to keep happening to other children. That’s why our mission is to increase awareness around the lack of funding for pediatric cancer while raising money to support additional cancer research and support families affected by this disease.
