Finding a cure for SEF and helping families navigate the battle against rare pediatric cancers.
The Rucker Collier Foundation is a charitable organization deeply committed to raising awareness of and finding a cure for Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (“SEF”) and other rare and understudied pediatric sarcomas. It is our hope that this website will help SEF families and others battling incurable pediatric sarcomas to navigate potential treatment options and research developments, and raise awareness of the need for funds to support active and innovative research to fast-track potential therapies.
“I told every doctor, scientist, researcher, fellow parent, and all of those I spoke with along this journey that our goal was to find a cure for SEF in Rucker’s honor, and if we couldn’t do that, we would do it in his memory. Unfortunately, we were unable to accomplish the former, but will now forge ahead with the latter.”
