About The Callahan Murphy Hare Foundation

Kate and Matt Hare established The Callahan Murphy Hare Foundation in September 2021, following the April birth of their son Callahan, who was diagnosed with infant leukemia within hours of birth. Due to the aggressive protocol he needed, Callahan (and mom and dad) stayed inpatient at Nationwide Children’s in Columbus, OH for the first 8 months of his life.

During this time, the Hare’s became immersed in the pediatric cancer world – a place no one imagines finding themselves. As they learned more about their son’s diagnosis, along with the cancers of other pediatric patients they met during their stay, and the dismal federal investment priority for pediatric cancers, Kate and Matt were motivated to be a part of the movement to support and change the funding for pediatric cancers. Did you know, the National Cancer Institute’s annual budget accounts just 4% to research for the 112 types of pediatric cancers? This is why #MORETHAN4 is a rallying cry within the pediatric cancer community.

Since launching in September 2021, The Hare’s have raised ~$225,000 for pediatric cancer research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Boston Children’s in Boston, MA, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Children’s National in Washington D.C. Funds raised through events like this will help fund innovative research and trials at children’s hospital’s across the country. The foundation is disease state agnostic, meaning they are not focused solely on funding research related to Callahan’s diagnosis of infant leukemia.
