WHAT IS THE HENRY TUCKER FOUNDATION?

The Henry Tucker Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2008 following the loss of six-year-old child, Henry James Vaughn Tucker, to a rare form of T-cell leukemia. The mission of the Henry Tucker Foundation is to raise awareness of childhood cancer and offer support to families coping with the physical, emotional, financial, and bureaucratic obstacles associated with terminal childhood cancers. The specific goals of the foundation include: (1.) Providing much needed information and emotional support to families facing the realities associated terminal illness; (2.) Raising money and distributing grants to families in need; and, (3.) Lobbying for changes in current family leave acts and cancer research policies. We will reach these goals by providing an on-line community dedicated to promoting social support and offering valuable information to families facing cancer related health crises, raising funds through campaign drives and benefits, and facilitating difficult public discussions regarding the lack of support offered by current policies and laws.
