WHY WE’RE HERE

Jane Harrell’s bright spirit continued to lead and love, uplifting others around her, despite being told she would die from DIPG at age 17. With five short months to live from diagnosis to death, Jane faced incomprehensible suffering and fear with faith and courage.

Jane challenged her peers in a high school speech she didn’t live to give: “I now know it’s not I that’s going to grow up and change the world; the job belongs to each of you. You are the light of the world. Shine it. You are the salt of the earth. Share it.”

Jane’s Fund seeks to improve the educational, medical and physical well-being for children, giving the opportunity of new life, hope, and a thriving future.

We do that by supporting families caring for a child dying of cancer and by funding educational opportunities for children that might not otherwise have them, through schools, camps and sports. Jane’s Fund is project-based, dedicated to making a direct, fast and meaningful impact on local children and their families.
