Our Mission
Jackson’s Journey is dedicated to advancing childhood cancer research and supporting social oncology programs that improve the lives of children and families affected by pediatric cancer.
Our mission is to raise awareness, funds, and resources to enhance outcomes for children facing cancer and to provide meaningful support to the families who walk alongside them. Through advocacy, community engagement, and collaborative fundraising efforts, we strive to improve treatment outcomes and promote holistic support systems rooted in compassion, connection, and hope.
Everything we do is grounded in lived experience—and in a promise to keep fighting.
What We Do
Jackson’s Journey advances its mission through three core pillars of impact:
Family Support
We support children and families navigating pediatric cancer by contributing to programs that prioritize emotional well-being, comfort, and quality of life during treatment. This includes funding social oncology initiatives such as music therapy and family-centered hospital programs, as well as providing direct support when and where it is needed most.
Awareness & Advocacy
We raise awareness about childhood cancer—particularly rare and aggressive forms like pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)—and the critical need for continued research funding. Through community engagement and storytelling, we advocate for better outcomes, stronger support systems, and greater visibility for families affected by pediatric cancer.
Fundraising for Impact
Our fundraising efforts are community-driven and purpose-led. Through events like Rock Out Childhood Cancer, we mobilize supporters, raise critical funds, and turn collective action into tangible impact for research and family support programs.
