Finishing what we started: finding a cure for Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma

Our Mission

The Rucker Collier Foundation’s mission focuses on raising funds to expand the scope of scientific research needed to find effective therapies for Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (“SEF”) and supporting families affected by SEF and other rare pediatric sarcomas in order to enable them to better advocate for their children. We will also support organizations that touched our lives in a meaningful way during Rucker’s fight against SEF.

“Along the way, I chose to view the rarity of his disease not as a limitation but as an opportunity. I thought, ‘we can make a difference. We can forge a path in the wilderness.’”

— John Collier
