A National Community of childhood cancer families

Join the community.

A childhood cancer diagnosis changes life for the whole family. Each parent, sibling, and loved one experiences the journey in their own way, and each deserves care, understanding, and support. At the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, we’re here to walk with you—through treatment, after treatment, and into every new chapter that follows.

Through Hatch’s Hero, you’ll gain access to a national community of pediatric cancer families through special events, virtual educational and supportive programs, online resources, and platforms to share your child’s story as a voice of hope for others. Your family’s story is one of courage and resilience, and we’re here to stand beside you in it.

“Anyone in the family is a Hatch’s Hero, whether you’re in current pediatric cancer treatment, a survivor, or a sibling or parent of someone affected by a childhood cancer diagnosis, which includes those who have lost their family member to pediatric cancer. We invite the entire family to join our Hatch’s Hero community.”

- Amy Jo Osborn, CEO of the Austin Hatcher Foundation
