Our Story
Noah Latronica was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, at just 6 months old. Despite the pain and suffering he endured, during a 5 and a half year battle, Noah never lost his spirit or his sense of humor. He fought with everything he had, but tragically, he lost his battle with cancer in August 2022 at just 6 years old.
Noah's passing has left a void in the hearts of everyone knew him. Though Noah's life was brief, his impact was profound. His compassion and kindness touched the lives of so many people, and his unwavering courage inspired anyone who knew him. His memory lives on in the hearts of those who loved him, and his legacy continues to bring hope to those facing similar battles.
Noah's death serves as a stark reminder of the devastating toll of childhood cancer and the urgent need for more research and support for families affected.. His legacy lives on in the efforts to improve treatment and find a cure for this terrible disease, ensuring that no other child will have to endure what he did.
**Our Mission is To Bring Light into the Darkness of Childhood Cancer, Noah's Legacy Foundation is devoted to elevating childhood cancer awareness, advancing life-saving research, and providing a network of support to families navigating this challenging journey. We believe that every child deserves a future filled with hope, laughter, and the opportunity to create their own legacy.**
Aiding in Research
Less than 4 % of government funding is allocated to Childhood Cancer Research. Proceeds raised at events held by Noah’s Legacy Foundation are used to donate to research facilities leading the country in cutting edge clinical trials designed to find a cure for pediatric cancers.
Raising Awareness
Childhood Cancer is often referred to as rare and is therefore overlooked by the government and anyone who has not experienced the effects first hand. Part of our mission is to raise desperately needed awareness for this disease through community events.
Helping Families
Many families experience significant emotional distress after their child’s diagnosis. Funds raised will also go towards hosting events for children and their loved ones. Cancer will often lead to feelings of isolation and our goal is to show these families that they are not alone and we support them through their fight.
