We exist to honour Adeola's memory by confronting the disease that took her. Through research, support and awareness, we work toward a day when cancer is caught earlier, treated better, and feared less.
We direct gifts to scientists pursuing better diagnostics and treatments for the cancers that are too often overlooked.

Diagnosed with cancer at just 40, Adeola met every treatment with the same warmth she gave everyone she loved. Even on the difficult days, she organised meals for other patients on her ward and dreamed aloud of a foundation that would help families like ours. This is that foundation.
Everything the foundation does grows from that promise: to turn her compassion into research, into support for families in treatment, and into hope for the next person who hears the word "cancer".

The people who knew and loved Adeola remember her best. These are their words, the memories that keep her spirit at the heart of everything we do.
"Adeola remembered every birthday and every hard week. She had a way of making you feel like the most important person in the room, even when she was the one who was unwell."
"My sister turned a small kitchen into the warmest place any of us knew. Even in the hospital, she was the one checking on everybody else. That was Adeola."
"She organised meals for other patients on the ward and learned all their families' names. She kept saying the next family should have it easier. This foundation is her keeping that word."
