No Child Should Fight Cancer Alone

Super Joey Foundation was, and will always be, inspired by a courageous and compassionate 4-year-old boy known as "Super Joey" at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Born on Thanksgiving Day of 2011, Joey grew up happy and healthy with his parents and older brother until he was diagnosed with Stage-III Wilms Tumor in May 2013 and started his battle against cancer.

Joey was a big fan of superheroes and was a little hero in his life as well. He was incredibly strong, always met challenges with a smile that lit up the room, and encouraged other patients. Sadly, Joey lost his battle against cancer in February 2016.

While Joey's life was short, it was also full of joy. Joey was loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Super Joey Foundation will carry forward with Joey's love and courage to help the children and their families who are still fighting cancer.
