Scott’s
friends were so inspired by Scott that they desired to do
something in his memory. They created Friends of Scott –
Friends to Children with Cancer.
The Friends of Scott Foundation was created in memory of
my youngest son Scott.
Scott, my precious little angel, was diagnosed with cancer
at the age of 13. He passed away after a year long battle
with this devastating disease. Scott was a passionate and
caring young man, whom I often shared conversations with
like a best friend.
I continue to be amazed by the lasting friendships and
bonds he developed in his short life. Those friends surrounded
him from the very beginning, throughout treatment, and literally
until his final breath. And that special relationship has
remained strong and very much alive through my continued
communication with those special friends who were so supportive
to a mother and family beginning the grieving process.
One day Scott’s friends were sitting around sharing
stories about Scott and reminiscing about how much he looked
forward to their visits at the hospital during his treatment.
The topic turned to doing something in his memory for other
children suffering from this disease.
This is how The Friends of Scott Foundation began. A few
forward thinking teenagers sharing Scott’s very own
concern and caring spirit for children and their families
coping with cancer. Our foundations mission is to ensure
that our children and their families get the emotional and
financial support needed to cope with this disease.
