Help Ryan raise money

ABOUT THE RYAN RICHARDS FOUNDATION:

What we learned with Ryan’s situation is that until you go through something in life, it’s hard to understand it. Unfortunately, we now understand how difficult it is to see someone you love suffering with a life-threatening illness, both physically and emotionally. We experienced the desperate need for medical advancements and the lack of mental health resources. The Foundation’s goal is to make a difference. The Ryan Richards Foundation Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization formed by Ryan’s closest family and friends in an effort to give back to the community he loved.

We want to help families suffering with cancer. Our donations represent a small tap on the shoulder to let them know that we understand what they’re going through and that they are not alone. To date, we have helped numerous families affected by cancer.

The Ryan Richards Foundation is helping fund medical advancements with a total donation of over $135,000 to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, specifically for NUT Midline Carcinoma clinical trials and Pediatric Brain Cancer research. These funds help finance targeted therapy methods for these cancers, and most recently funded the first ever global conference on NUT Carcinoma and treatment options.

The foundation has endowed 2 scholarships annually in Ryan’s memory to local Falmouth High School seniors attending a 4 year college.
