The Foundation bears the name of my son Anders. I was privileged to share his all too brief life on this earth for 23 years. The last six of which I watched him undergo the often devastating effects of cancer treatments, including multiple surgeries, several rounds of radiation therapy and many chemotherapy drugs. Through it all I was humbled by his constant courage, grace and will. It has forever changed my life and many others.

We are committed to carrying on Anders positive, loving energy on this earth. By raising money and completing projects needed to help other adolescents and young adults, the actions of this Foundation can best create a lasting and fitting tribute to the memory of Anders.
