The Rikki-Lynn Warrior Foundation

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and we raise awareness in honor of our sweet angel, Rikki-Lynn Cromlish 💛

Did you know?

🎗️ The average age of a childhood cancer diagnosis is around 6–8 years old.
🎗️ About 15,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year in the U.S., and roughly 400,000 worldwide.
🎗️ Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, accounting for nearly 28% of cases in children.

And those are just a few of the statistics.

We raise awareness so children don’t fight alone, so their families don’t grieve alone, and so no one affected by childhood cancer ever feels alone. We raise awareness for better treatments, for a cure, for a better tomorrow and a brighter today.

Because they are so much more than a diagnosis. They are someone’s child, niece or nephew, cousin, aunt or uncle, brother or sister, grandchild, and best friend. They play sports. They have dreams. They set goals and fight for them with everything they have. They are resilient, beautiful, and deserving of every chance at a long and full life. We all have a part to play in creating that change.

Not just in September, but every day, we are reminded of the strength, love, and legacy our Warrior left behind. Rikki-Lynn remains at the heart of this fight and everything this foundation stands for. We have faith that one day, a cure will be found 💛🎗️

Today marks one year without our sweet girl 🕊️❤️‍🩹

Her love, her strength, and her spirit remain with us every day. Not a moment goes by that we don’t think of her and wish she were here with us. We miss her more than words could ever say.

We’ll carry you with us always, Rikki-Lynn.. We love you forever!

Over 211 local students headed home with backpacks full of school supplies yesterday.. All because of one wish from our angel, Rikki-Lynn 🫶

Yesterday was everything we hoped it would be and more! Because of the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to help students head into the new school year with the supplies they need.

Our hearts are so full knowing we were able to accomplish one of Rikki-Lynn’s ideas!! Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, shared our posts, and spent the afternoon with us. Your kindness made this day possible ✨✨✨

We look forward to continuing to serve our community and carrying on Rikki-Lynn’s legacy for years to come. Would you like to see a Back-to-School Party become an annual tradition? Let us know in the comments below! 💜💛
