Embracing families affected by childhood brain tumors, late-effects of childhood cancer, and predisposition syndrome.
At Leaps of Love, Inc., we embrace families affected by childhood brain tumors and late-effects of childhood cancer by providing resources of hope, strength, and encouragement to meet the challenges they face today as well as the long-term effects of tomorrow.
Cancer is a devastating illness that can affect anyone, but it's most tragic when it impedes the life of a child.
At Leaps of Love, Inc., we embrace families affected by childhood brain tumors and late-effects of childhood cancer by providing resources of hope, strength, and encouragement to meet the challenges they face during their battle against this disease and its long-term effects. Established in 2010, our foundation caters to the many needs unaddressed by existing organizations. We strive to create programs, resources, and retreats to fulfill the needs of those families impacted by childhood cancer.
Our organization requires the support of communities across the country to achieve our mission.
Gifts of financial assistance, corporate support, office supplies, and volunteers help us make a positive impact on children's lives. You can make a difference as well; by supporting our organization with your time, money, or resources, you can help the childhood survivors of cancer transition into their lives and thrive beyond their initial disease.

The Facts About Childhood Cancer
It's hard to believe, but it's true: each school day, 46 children are diagnosed with cancer, and one in 330 children will develop cancer by age 20.
Clinical studies have revealed that childhood cancer affects nearly 12,600 kids in a year and although the five-year survival rate is steadily increasing, one-quarter of children diagnosed with cancer will die five years from the time of diagnosis.
For this reason, cancer remains the number one disease killer of America's children—more than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, asthma, and AIDS combined.
Though there are more than 270,000 childhood cancer survivors in the U.S., effects of childhood cancer treatment are common in survivors, and approximately two-thirds of these effects are moderate to severe.
Help the survivors heal and thrive by contacting us today.
Programs
We strive to give families affected by childhood cancer strength and hope by giving them the space, time, and a place to bond without the worry of expense. From our regular support retreats to assistance programs that allow them to enjoy a fun night out as a family, we aim to give them hope as they deal with the challenges of chemotherapy, health issues, or the loss of their child.
