Our Mission

The mission of Hudson Strong Foundation is to support pediatric cancer patients, cancer siblings, and caregivers in Iowa and be a light in their darkest time.

As a family, we will advocate for safer treatment options and increased pediatric cancer funding by bringing awareness to cancer warriors and sharing their heroic battles.

This foundation was created to send emotional support, as well as, practical and individualized care packages to those impacted by pediatric cancer. We provide packages to cancer patients ages 0-17 who are in active treatment and reside in the state of Iowa. Our goal when individualizing the packages is to include all members of the immediate family, as we know they are also affected by childhood cancer.

Challenge the Darkness

Our story began in March of 2019 when Hudson was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). After completing 3 years of chemotherapy treatment, Hudson remains in remission and is thriving. It is our turn to give back to families trying to survive the trenches of childhood cancer.
