Lionhardt was established in May 2015 to provide awareness & financial support to all first responders battling cancer & other critical illness.

Cancer has struck home for the Renton Fire Family. Our brother Donovan Eckhardt was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma back in late 2013. After an amazing fight and undeterred will, it appeared that Donovan had beaten his cancer. Unfortunately it has since returned in greater numbers.

June 5th, 2015 at the Berliner Pub. 🍻

It began with standing alongside our brother, Donovan Eckhardt, as he battled cancer, and a desire to create a support group for others on the same journey. Since then, Lionhardt has evolved into an organization reaching across state lines to offer stability and solidarity to all walks of first responders facing life altering medical challenges.

There are always more heroes we can help. The work continues. We will be here when the unexpected and unthinkable happens. Nominate a Champion who needs help today, or donate so we can continue this vital work.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

We also recognize that service and sacrifice does not end on the battlefield. Families, veterans, first responders, and communities continue to carry the weight of loss, trauma, and duty every day.

At Lionhardt, we believe honoring sacrifice means caring for the living, supporting those who serve, and building a community where no first responder has to carry that burden alone. Nominate a first responder dealing with debilitating illness or injury on our website: https://lionhardt.org
