Killian Loved sports.
Five-year-old Killian Owen loved sports — especially baseball, basketball and swimming.
He enjoyed playing (and competing!) with his
brothers.
On December 10, 1999, Killian was diagnosed with
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. Despite the best
efforts of those caring for Killian, and his
own determination, the disease took his life
on July 27, 2003.
He was nine.
We work in Killian's memory for children who need a cure.
We will fund cures.
We will find cures.
Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the U.S.
43 children
in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer
every day.
91,250
children lose
their lives to cancer each year.
That is the sad truth.
...but there is hope.
We are funding cutting-edge research that will lead to better treatments with fewer
harmful side effects.
We will find cures
for childhood cancers in our lifetime.
