Support
The support arm of the Life of Riley Foundation
provides outreach and education to the families of patients with pediatric
brain tumors. Over the next year, the Foundation will unveil its Family-to-Family
Connection program. This network will bring together families who are
dealing with the disease and its aftermath. Plans are underway to establish
an internet bulletin board, group gatherings and education conferences
for families.
The clouds surrounding the unknown are often lifted by sharing thoughts
and fears with someone who has experienced the same thing. The Life
of Riley Foundation will nurture programs that provide such support
and will help develop initiatives to assure families that they are not
alone.
