Frank was born on a beautiful summer day, June 14th 2017 in Charlotte, North Carolina. His first word was Papa. He attended St. Martin's Episcopal Preschool and was an active member of the toddler class. He never turned down a snack or a swing; loved parks, bouncy balls, dogs, and all of life's simple pleasures. He is missed beyond belief.

Currently medical science can’t explain why hundreds of children with no prior medical conditions, like Frank, die each year. Their is limited awareness, research, and support for families who are left with no answers. Frank’s foundation is dedicated to changing this in his name and in the name of thousands of other children and families who have been impacted by unexplained pediatric deaths.

Our Mission:

Increase awareness of SUDC

Fund crucial research into causes and prevention of SUDC

Support bereaved family services and those impacted by unexpected or unexplained loss

Celebrating the lives of children gone to soon

Research is the only way to effect change, find answers for families, and prevent future pediatric deaths with no explanation after through examination. This is why a major amount of our giving is dedicated to advancing research into SUDC and to comprehensive and standardized investigations to assist research into all sudden unexpected pediatric deaths.

The impact of losing a child is devastating ; families need need support and consoling as they navigate their grief. The second major area we focus our giving is towards programs that provide family services and support as well as education to professionals to better assist those impacted by the loss of a child.
