The Kenny Can Foundation for Brain Cancer was
established to raise and allocate funds dedicated
to research the causes and cures of brain cancer
as well as to aid victims who have been affected
by this deadly disease.
It is with your contributions, dedication, and
commitment that the foundation will be able
to accomplish these goals. This website
is to keep you apprised of progress, events
and information regarding the Kenny Can Foundation
so that you will be an informed contributor.
A large portion of our proceeds have gone directly
to the brain tumor department at St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital. We have given generously
to this hospital because of one brain cancer
victim in particular. Matthew Noyes is a young
man from Maine who suffered from the same kind
of cancer that Kenny did, but his was diagnosed
at a level three instead of a level four. He
was treated by the doctors at the brain tumor
center at St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital and is currently a four year survivor.
We are extremely proud of the work that the
doctors do at St. Jude, but we would also like
to help individuals who might need extra comforts
while being treated for their brain cancer.
Most victims are not as lucky as Matthew was,
but we at the Kenny Can Foundation would like
to think we made things a little better for
them day-to-day even as they endured the most
horrific time of their life.
We sent Kenny Can bucks to a young teenage
boy and his family to Disneyworld to enjoy one
last trip together; we have helped brain cancer
victims with travel expenses to hospitals that
offer clinical trials with hope; we provided
a maid service for a single woman who was fighting
for her life. We put a Christmas tree surrounded
with presents in a mechanic's home after he
lost his job due to his illness. We helped a
carpenter with living expenses so he could stay
home and care for his dying wife. We feel that
Kenny would want us to help individual people
and their families the most. Some day we hope
there will be a cure for brain cancer, but in
the meantime we want to help people make their
lives as comfortable as possible during this
most difficult time.
We would like to thank each and every one of
you for your continued support. It is with your
generous contributions that we continue to make
life good for those inflicted with this terrible
disease.
As of April 2008, the Kenny Can Foundation
has raised over $592,000
