Shining A Light

On rare cancers and the young adults fighting them

The Allyson Whitney Foundation is shining a light on the underserved demographic of young adults with rare cancers. Caught between pediatric and older adults, they often lack the resources, care, and support needed to heal. We're here to help.

Our Shoe Box

Ally loved saving mementos in a shoe box; tokens from somewhere she went, something she loved, special keepsakes from important moments in her life. Our Shoebox is full of little bits and pieces of what we’re all about.
