JG3 Foundation
NO ONE WALKS ALONE #JG3Strong
Families facing pediatric brain cancer are often thrust into an overwhelming hospital experience, with long stays, complex treatments, and constant uncertainty. Parents must balance being present for their sick child while managing life at home, often separated from siblings who also need care and emotional support.
The financial burden can be significant—lost income, travel, lodging, and medical expenses quickly add up. Beyond the physical toll, the emotional strain of navigating fear, hope, and exhaustion every day can be just as challenging for the entire family.
JG3 Foundation is a non-profit organization, created so that no family facing pediatric brain cancer walks alone.
Stay JG3 Strong
We established the JG3 Foundation in loving memory of our son John to honor the courage, faith, and resilience he displayed throughout his battle with Medulloblastoma.
Our mission is to provide emotional encouragement, practical resources, and financial assistance when it is needed most for families as they navigate this journey.
JG3 Foundation works tirelessly to carry out and honor our son John's legacy of unwavering faith and devotion by supporting families battling pediatric brain cancer.
John’s Story
On October 24, 2025, at just 15 years old, John was called home after a courageous battle with brain cancer. In the midst of unimaginable loss, we witnessed something powerful—an entire community rallying around us, reminding us just how deeply one life can impact so many.
John’s story is one of strength, resilience, and love. But ours is not the only story.
Every day, there are families walking a similar path—facing fear, uncertainty, and challenges no child or parent should have to endure alone. Behind every diagnosis is a story. Behind every family is a need.
The mission of the JG3 Foundation is rooted in this truth.
We exist to support families facing pediatric brain cancer by providing emotional encouragement, practical resources, and financial assistance when it is needed most. Inspired by John’s strength and his love for baseball as a proud member of the Philly Bandits, we are committed to being a source of hope—walking alongside families through every inning of their journey.
We are forever grateful for the love and support shown to our family—by friends, schools, teammates, and a community that carried us when we could not stand on our own. Because we were lifted up, we now feel called to lift others.
John’s story will always be a part of us. But through this foundation, his story becomes something more—it becomes a light that shines on the many other children and families who need support, who need hope, and who need to be seen.
Because every child deserves a team behind them.
“John fought the good fight, he finished the race, he kept the faith.” — Timothy 4:7
