About Us
Our Mission
The Chris Lantos Foundation improves the lives of pediatric cancer patients and their families through charitable acts of kindness that support their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being while also raising public awareness about pediatric cancer.
The Chris Lantos Foundation was created in memory of Chris Lantos by his parents. Chris was a 12 year-old boy who died of cancer. He wanted one thing the most: to get cured from cancer. There was no cure. The Foundation will fight until the cure is found and kids can have their childhood back.
