On December 23, 2013, Eric Speicher Jr. gained his angel wings after a 2 1/2 year battle with brain cancer (Ependymoma). The following spring, his mother, father and several other family members created Little Eric's Foundation in is honor. Our mission is to raise money to donate to brain and childhood cancer research to help find better treatments and, ultimately, a cure so no other child or family will have to go through what Eric and our family did. No child should have to hear "It's cancer". We also give money families with children battling cancer to help ease the financial strain this disease often causes.

 Over the past 9 years, we have donated over $340,000 to brain and childhood cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NY. We have also financially assisted 35 local families with children battling cancer.
