Our Legacy

Heroes for Children was founded in loving memory of two brave little girls: Taylor Anne Brewton (July 27, 1997 – November 26, 2001) and Allison "Allie" Leigh Scott (December 17, 2003 – September 13, 2004), both of whom faced Acute Myeloid Leukemia with extraordinary courage. Despite enduring intense treatments, including chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, their young lives were cut far too short. Yet, their strength, light, and love left a lasting imprint on everyone they met.
 

In October 2004, Taylor’s mother, Larissa Linton, and Allie’s mother, Jenny Lawson, met in the wake of Allie’s passing. As they shared their grief, they also shared a vision: to transform their pain into purpose. They had experienced firsthand the generosity of their communities, but they had also seen the devastating toll childhood cancer takes on families—emotionally, physically, and financially. Some parents lost jobs. Some lost homes. Too many faced this battle alone.

Determined to change that, Larissa and Jenny founded Heroes for Children with one promise at its heart: no family with a child battling cancer should fight alone. Today, their daughters’ legacies live on in every act of support, every moment of comfort, and every family lifted through the mission of Heroes for Children.
