Join Michael’s Fight for a Cure! If you are involved in the discovery or research for pediatric brain tumor cures you may be eligible to receive a grant from the Friends4Michael Foundation. “Michael touched so many people with his kindness, unselfishness, and unending faith. Michael brought so many to God’s door and opened it for them. His strength was the most remarkable thing to me. I only saw him cry twice through this entire ordeal. Once when I told him – and only because I was crying – and once when we were told after his first chemo treatment that the tumor was growing again.”

The Friends4Michael Foundation will attempt to spotlight stories of the families and “Michael’s Babies” who are fighting a brain tumor and the battles they win everyday.

Our National Events

Michael’s challenge was to help kids fighting a brain tumor – that is our sole guiding principle and will always be.
Our signature event continues to be Michael’s Race – which is also known as the Race for Hope – in Washington, D.C. on the first Sunday in May each year. Here is Michael’s team crossing the finish line together just like we did in 2003 when Michael led us across the line. This is a very emotional and moving day for all of us. We hope you can join us.
The Newburgh Brewing Company Fundraiser helped us raise funds for our families. Thank you to all of the supporters, we wouldn’t be doing this without you!
