Mission Statement
Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation (CKc) was founded in 2014 with the mission to fund innovative, accessible research for children fighting cancer to provide better treatments and quality of life, and educate for change. Our founders know this reality first-hand. Michael and Melissa Wiggins’ first-born son, Cannon, was diagnosed with Stage IV high-risk neuroblastoma when he was just 20 months old. They were told he had a 50% chance of survival. They watched Cannon suffer through surgeries and “diluted” chemical treatments meant for adults, which caused him loss of hearing and decay to all of his teeth. They watched their son bleed from the inside out and be dragged to death’s doorstep in their quest to save him. They know this tragic reality all too well. We are thrilled to report that Cannon is now a teenager, but the side effects of toxic cancer treatments are real. There has to be a better way to treat cancer to give kids a future and the quality of life they deserve. With your help, we are working hard to fund innovative research so no other child should have to suffer like he did. Research Is The Key!
