Our Mission: To offer hope, support, and love to families walking the difficult path of cancer, just as Erik did with such grace and strength. In doing so, we hope to help others make memories that will last a lifetime, just as Erik’s memory will continue to inspire us all.

Dealing with the challenges that cancer brings to a family’s life can be overwhelming. Erik’s Way emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the cancer community in the South Bay. Erik's Way was founded in memory of an incredible man, Erik, who touched the lives of so many as a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He was a man of unmatched character—funny, hardworking, and always there for his family and community. An exceptional athlete and a proud San Pedro resident, Erik's life was defined by his devotion to those he loved and his unwavering positivity, even in the face of life's toughest challenges.

We provide a variety of thoughtful services, including a non-perishable food pantry, handmade birthday cards for every household member, and events and essential resources for families to creating moments of joy and connection.
