To provide emotional, educational and financial support to children with cancer and their families, while increasing awareness and funding research toward a cure.

Our organization is unique to Northern California as we focus solely on assisting childhood cancer families. Still grassroots in nature, we understand the need to focus on families in our community by providing them with tools and concrete support as they battle this life-changing disease. Our team of staff (4) and volunteers (30) provide emotional, educational and financial support to over 150 families per year, conduct public awareness campaigns and fund research toward a cure. Since 2000, we have raised over $2.5 million for childhood cancer patient services and research. Ninety-eight percent (98%) of families we served last year reported increased access to health services, awareness of resources and decreased stress as a result of our services. Our vision is that all children grow-up healthy and cancer-free.   In the last four years, we have taken steps to increase our capacity to serve more families impacted by cancer through board development, leadership training, social marketing, and implementing a new fund development plan last year. We are pleased to announce that in 2010 we secured �seed funding� for the region�s first Childhood Cancer Family Navigator, an innovative model that, before now, did not exist in the childhood cancer world. Our program goals in the coming year are to: Expand our new Family Navigator program Launch new support activities for grieving families Raise awareness about childhood cancer and KRM's research investments
