According to available statistics, an estimated 400,000 children around the world develop cancer each year, only half of whom are ever diagnosed. With over two years of making a real impact in the lives of children fighting cancer, our collective generosity can be the beacon of hope for those who need it most.


Join us in the fight against childhood cancer and help us raise awareness and support for these children and their families.

TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH HOPE

OUR MISSION

Akanimo Cancer Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) approved non-profit, created in honor of Akanimo who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive childhood cancer called Desmoplastic Small Round cell tumor (DSRCT) at 10 years old and died 2 years later at 12 years old.

Our mission is to raise awareness  for childhood cancer, provide  support to families affected by childhood cancer including bereavement support and also support increased research for better treatments and cures.
