Donation day! Dropped off to OHSU AYA Oncology 20 bags filled with goodies + extra beanies, playing cards and cozy blankets. Sending 💙💛 to those going through the cancer battle 💪💪

“What is impressive about caring for these patients, in addition to their incredible sense of resilience and hope, is how they articulate their prognostic understanding.

They will make poignant comments from which you can intuit that they understand their prognosis.”

- Dr. Brandon Hayes-Lattin on the resilience and hope in adolescents and young adults with cancer (The ASCO Post): https://bit.ly/48y8fx9

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Hugh’s last birthday earth side. Here he is on his 25th birthday in 2005 🎂. Happy Birthday Hugh!

Donation day! Hoping these bags filled with goodies, warm fleece blankets and hats bring some joy to cancer patients at OHSU this holiday! Jack Gaube OHSU AYA Oncology

Last week week was a good week…The HHH Foundation donated 20 bags filled with goodies for cancer patients along with button up shirts, phone chargers and hats/beanies.
💙💛Thank you to everyone who has contributed to help bring a tiny bit of joy to people who need it.

Monday we donated another 20 bags for OHSU cancer patients 🎉
Love being able to do this….over 15 years of donating bags! Thanks to everyone that continues to support our cause.

HHH Foundation was thrilled to drop off twenty bags filled to the brim at OHSU Knight Cancer Institute earlier this month! Since no visitors are allowed right now, we hope these bags stuffed with goodies help keep patients busy. 😀 Included were adult coloring books, colored pencils, blankets, knitting & bracelet kits, and as always, as a tribute to Hugh, his favorite candy to have during chemo - sour patch kids! Over the years, your support has allowed us to donate over 600 stuffed bags and backpacks to OHSU! Thank you for this honor in Hugh’s memory! ❤️

It's AYA Cancer Awareness weeks! Our friends at First Descents share a great "crash course" in what exactly AYA (adolescent and young adult) means. Our namesake Hugh was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma at age 21 and quickly discovered there were a lot of unique challenges to having cancer as a young adult.

Just in time for Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week, the HHH Foundation was thrilled to do one of our semi-annual backpack deliveries today at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), along with Bluetooth speakers for patients’ rooms! Thank you to our supporters who allow us to continue to spread cheer in Hugh’s memory ❤️

Happy Birthday to Hugh today! Here he is in 2003 celebrating his 23rd birthday, shortly after finishing his grueling first year and a half round of chemo treatments for Ewing's Sarcoma. We miss you Hugh! ♥🎂♥
