    WHY: At the age of 14, Greg was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer,
    Rhabdomysarcoma. He lost his courageous battle on April 24, the day
    of his 16th birthday. It is the wish of the Hickman Family to have Greg
    live on through The Foundation’s mission. They want to provide
    financial support to families struggling with similar challenges and
    misfortunes.100% of all donations will go directly to helping improve
    the lives of these families. In addition, The Foundation will fund high
    school scholarships for Middletown High School Students in Greg’s
    memory. The outpouring of love Greg and his family received from the
    community at large was an incredible source of strength. It is in this
    way, his parents, and family can pay it forward and help other families.
