Addie and Declan were meant to tackle the world together. The first years of their lives were spent together learning, bonding and fighting cancer at Hackensack Meridian Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital.

Today, both Addie and Declan are cancer survivors – and the best of friends. They are growing up with one another – celebrating birthdays, apple picking, swimming - and raising funds for Tackle Kids Cancer.

Tackle Kids Cancer, a philanthropic initiative of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation, raises funds to benefit groundbreaking cancer research, essential clinical care, and unique support programs for our patients and their families at Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health.

Having received support from Tackle Kids Cancer during their journeys, Addie and Declan started their own fundraising to help other #TKCMVPs (Most Valiant Patients) and their families. Together, their team has raised more than $25,000 through Eli’s Challenge over the years.

We are so grateful that Addie and Declan are happy and healthy. And this #ChildhoodCancerAwareness Month, we are especially inspired by their efforts to give back to support others!

September is #ChildhoodCancerAwareness Month. With only 4% of the national cancer research budget allocated to pediatric cancer research, Tackle Kids Cancer was initiated to raise awareness and funds in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Donations made to Tackle Kids Cancer benefit our patients, and their families, receiving care at Hackensack Meridian Children's Health, funding areas of:
🩺Care & Support
🔬Research
🎓Survivorship

A special #HandprintCeremony celebrated a $100,000 grant by Hyundai Hope on Wheels® to Tackle Kids Cancer. The grant will help to fund the Hackensack Meridian Children’s Cancer Institute’s new AYA Program (Adolescent and Young Adult Program).

Adolescents and young adults face unique challenges when coping with a cancer diagnosis. It can be difficult for teens and young adults with cancer to manage the disease’s emotional and social challenges. The AYA program is working to close the gap on these areas of need - counseling, financial and support services, fertility preservation, survivorship services and more.

With the support from @hyundaihopeonwheels, the AYA Program can continue to grow, including to help fund a nurse navigator position who will serve as a resource for patients and families.

Thank you to @Hyundai for your incredible generosity and support in the fight against childhood cancer.
