Todd's Purpose is Now Our Purpose. Learn About Us and Choose to Help.
During Todd’s battle with Ewing’s sarcoma he often asked why…not why him but rather why there was so much research & publicity for some cancers & not for Ewing’s & other rare pediatric cancers. His goal became not only to survive the disease but to help find a cure. Todd fought bravely for 18 months and his last words to his family were “I’m not giving up.” In the midst of the devastating loss of Todd the Bucher family realized we had a mandate to honor him by shedding light on & raising research dollars for rare pediatric cancers.
Todd’s Team is comprised of family, friends & concerned donors who share our mission to fund research & find a cure. To date we have raised $150,000 to fund two research grants exploring genetic components to Ewing’s sarcoma. However, one small family’s efforts need support & we realized the time was right to expand our reach & form the Todd Bucher Foundation. We plan to hold events in the community, partner with other like minded children’s charities, encourage school children to participate in fund raising & work closely with Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, NC as they expand their research facilities. We want to make Todd’s goal a reality.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer it affects that child’s entire family. Our little family pulled together to surround Todd with love & strength but it was often Todd who gave us the strength we needed to carry on. With that in mind our “Love, Todd” program will be working with the dedicated social workers at Levine to assist with the needs of pediatric cancer patients & their families during the holidays.
Awareness, research dollars, and comfort to those stricken are all a part of our goals at the Todd Bucher Foundation. We may be a small family with a big mission but, like Todd, we pledge to never give up. With the help of others who share our dream we believe that one day we can change the outcome for the precious children who are stricken with rare pediatric cancers. We hope you'll join us in the fight to find the cure, because when hearts come together, there are no limits to hope.
