TYathlon

Join us on September 14 at Lake Mahopac as we swim, bike, run (or walk) in support of pediatric cancer research! Our 12th Annual TYathlon consists of a sprint triathlon and family-friendly 5K walk/run to raise funds to support the Ty Louis Campbell Fellowship at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell. Through this investment, TLC pays the salary of an experienced doctor/researcher who is dedicated to collecting genetic bio-information on all types of pediatric brain tumor samples in order to provide individual treatment protocols with precision medicine to children battling cancer. Your support is of TREMENDOUS value to this organization, and it truly helps move the needle forward in making these events a success in memory of Ty!

The Ty Louis Campbell Foundation is a nonprofit organization, certified 501 (c)(3), that funds innovative research and clinical trials specifically geared toward the treatment of the most aggressive childhood cancers (including brain and spinal cord tumors). Our organization seeks less toxic, more effective treatments that are specifically designed for children fighting cancer. Our ultimate mission is to help fund the intelligence and technology that will improve long-term survival rates for all children diagnosed with cancer.

OUR INSPIRATION...We call him SuperTy because he was our little fighter. Ty Louis Campbell, the “best good boy in the whole wide world,” graced this earth for five beautiful years, and before he left he made it a better place to live. He made an astounding impact on all who heard his story. He inspired individuals around the world to make the most of their lives and to rally against childhood cancer by raising awareness.
