The Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation is a registered non-profit 501c(3) organization dedicated to helping kids affected by cancer.

Mission Statement
The Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation was created to increase Awareness about Pediatric Brain Tumors and provide Education and Support to affected families. To raise money to fund worthy causes; such as Academic Scholarships, Research, and assist other support organizations with their efforts, with a focus on finding a balance between the best available treatments with the best quality of life.

The Story
The Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation was founded by Tim and Cindy Hayden after losing their 12 year old son Jeffrey to a pediatric brain tumor in September of 2004. Jeffrey’s story can be found under the About Jeffrey section. Frustrated by the lack of progress in finding a cure for this disease and the slow pace at which information travels from researchers to doctors, the Hayden’s are trying to make a difference by creating the Online Pediatric Brain Tumor Resource Center as part of the JTHF website. The hope is to share their experiences, along with those of other parents, with parents of newly diagnosed children with brain tumors so that the lessons learned can be put to the best possible use. By utilizing the information from past experiences, along with the latest advances in medical research, other parents will be armed with the latest and greatest information so they can make the best possible decisions for their children.
