Help us CRUSH DIPG!
By supporting the Mikey Strong Foundation you are helping us...
FUND RESEARCH. We donate funds to increase life expectancy and one day find a cure. We worked with the University of Florida to develop the Mikey Goodwin Brain Tumor Research Fund in collaboration with the UF Shands Hospital Bravo Fund at Wells Brain Tumor Center in Gainesville. This fund directly supports children and young adults diagnosed with DIPG and other brain cancers. It helps families with expenses such as travel for treatment, funds cutting-edge research, and directly benefits families during the toughest times of their lives. All proceeds donated through Mikey’s Research Fund are matched 100% by corporate donors.
PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. We provide funding to support families living with the diagnosis. We partner with Candlelighters of Brevard, Inc., a non-profit organization offering emotional support and financial assistance to children up to age 18 with cancer. Candlelighters supports families in Brevard and Indian River counties. We also provide support to warriors battling this disease and support them with immediate needs such as flying a child home to spend his final days at home surrounded by his family, paying for funeral expenses, donating thousands of gift cards to feed families while on the road for treatment, and much more.
SUPPORT YOUNG ADULTS. Once a young adult reaches 18 they no longer qualify for many pediatric services. Due to the lack of resources for patients 18 and over the Mikey Strong Foundation is committed to supporting young adults diagnosed with DIPG and other brain cancers.
