Erickson Family

The Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation holds so many examples of love. It's when you get a text message sent to you at just the right time, letting you know that they are thinking of you and sending love. It's the entire Rizzo family making a surprise visit to the hospital, after a long day at the ballpark, just to give you a hug and let you know that you are not alone. It's walking to the mailbox with fresh tears strolling down your face, feeling defeated, only to find a handwritten note of encouragement and financial assistance, to save you from more stress-filled, sleepless nights. It is disproving the myth, “never meet your hero, because they're sure to disappoint you.” The truth is, Anthony and his foundation are heroes to so many people who couldn't get through this cancer journey without them. The Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation is a beacon of HOPE in what often times feels like a hopeless situation. Anthony and his foundation are our forever family that assures us that we will never take another step in this cancer journey alone—we will always have their love and support. ARFF is the true definition of family.
