About Mighty Mitchell Foundation

So, why do we do this? We want to put on a great race, but we also want to raise money for a great cause. We can’t think of a better cause than Mighty Mitchell Foundation.

OUR VISION
The idea for the Mighty Mitchell Foundation was created after Mitchell was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2014 at the age of 4 and our family was introduced to this scary reality for families battling pediatric cancer.  Very early on we discovered how great of a need there is for families and patients affected by cancer.  Many of these parents are young and do not have a lot of financial means and battling this disease along with financial and emotional stress creates a toll on families.  We created this foundation to be a support organization to help connect families to resources as they battle this disease.  Unfortunately pediatric cancer research is significantly underfunded so there is a huge need to have more research provided.  There is a lot of stress on families and our goal is to help provide some hope for families going through treatment with a child to save marriages, provide hope and a source of happiness to patients that lose peer interaction and the pureness of being a child, along with siblings that lose a lot of attention from family members while their brother or sister receive care.
