Our Story

Mission

Hope In Action is a recognized non-profit 501(c)3 built on community and based in hope. We focus on providing support for pediatric cancer families during the onset of diagnosis, throughout treatment and after survival in Central New York. We are working to cultivate an active community that empowers these children and their families during this life long journey.


Our Story

After days and weeks of unexplained symptoms and illnesses, each of our children were diagnosed with Pediatric Cancer. Retinoblastoma, Ewing Sarcoma, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia…different diagnoses; each with their own challenges and hardships; each diagnosis setting our families on paths that would intertwine in tremendous ways. We grew from strangers to friends to ultimately family.

As each of our children rang their bells, we found ourselves facing another “new normal” that saw us looking for ways to give back to the community that surrounded us with hope and support. From our individual and shared experiences, we understand the support needed by families walking this path with us.
