Overview

"Your child has cancer." Those are words no parent should ever have to hear. In October 2016, these were the four words that forever changed the lives of the Stamp family and far too often are heard across the nation and around the world. Those words are doubly devastating when the diagnosis is pediatric brain cancer. Layla's Legacy Foundation is committed to funding innovative pediatric brain cancer research while bringing help and hope to families impacted by these diseases. Founded in honor of Layla Stamp, a precocious 5-year-old who was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in 2016 and who fought bravely against this unforgiving disease for over a year before she passed away in November 2017. Through this journey, the Stamp family witnessed the struggles of fighting pediatric brain cancer and how little funding, research, and treatments are available to children. Since 1980, only three drugs have been approved to combat cancer in children, and it is time we expect more!
