Spring 2015 Recipient – “In April 2014, I developed severe pleurisy overnight. The next day, the doctors found a mass in between my heart and my lung. In June 2014, we received the news that I had germ cell cancer. I was only 28, and my wife and I were in shock. After 12 weeks of chemo, the doctors thought things were improving, but in October, we found out that the cancer had recurred. In November and December, I received high dose chemo with stem cell transplants. Unfortunately, I lost most of my hearing due to the toxicity of the chemo I received. Luckily for me, the Allyson Whitney Foundation was there to help me get hearing aids! The day I got them, it was raining and I was able to hear rain again for the first time in months. We are so grateful to the Allyson Whitney Foundation, not just for the grant, but for all their support!”

Life Interrupted Grants

The Pursuit of Hope


The heart of the organization is to award as many ‘Life Interrupted Grants™’ as we can to young adults, who are a historically underserved demographic. Ally’s pursuit was to give hope and to be recognized. The grants lend a supportive hand by shining a light in a dark time. Our wish is that our recipients hear the news “no evidence of disease” and continue on their path of life.

The Allyson Whitney Foundation is standing with you.
