Rohan's Story
"Love, to Infinity and Beyond."

Rohan was an intelligent, energetic, and endlessly curious boy – one whose parents, teachers, and peers were certain would grow up to be an engineer. He was small yet confident, bright yet humble, reserved yet welcoming. Like many children, Rohan loved to build, climb, swing, and read his Bible, and had a lifetime of promise and joy ahead of him.

In 2012, three days after his seventh birthday, Rohan was diagnosed with a hyper-aggressive form of medulloblastoma — a rare pediatric brain cancer. Despite successful surgery and immediately promising treatment, the cancer returned and aggressively spread throughout his brain and spine. On November 3rd, 2012 – twenty-nine days after his seventh birthday – Rohan passed away.

Our Mission

Every Child Deserves Hope, and Life in Full

A few months after Rohan's passing, his family met with Dr. Jim Olson, lead scientist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, who inspired them to act with intention and purpose — not just to talk about pediatric cancer, but to do something tangible. That inspiration led to the formation of Team Rohan, a partner guild of Seattle Children's Hospital that would become a meaningful source of funding for pediatric brain cancer research at Fred Hutch.

Today, Team Rohan exists to advance scientific developments in pediatric brain cancer treatment, and to provide a community of support and hope for families who are faced with the unspeakable challenge of seeing a child through a battle with cancer. In the end, every family deserves to be given the hope of seeing their child grow.
