From Loss to Life: The Story of Brent’s Place
In 1997 Donn and Linda Eley founded the Brent Eley Foundation to honor their son, Brent, who bravely fought Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. After Brent’s passing, their grief sparked a “Big Idea”: to create a safe haven for families traveling far from home for cancer treatment – a place to stay together during their journey.
That Big Idea became Brent’s Place and, since then, we’ve supported more than 2,000 families from across the nation.
