Heroes for Children is founded in memory of Taylor Anne Brewton and Allison "Allie" Leigh Scott, who both passed away from Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

On November 26, 2001, Taylor passed away at just 4 years old after enduring 11 months of cancer treatment.  Taylor's family started a non-profit organization called Taylors Angels in her memory to provide financial assistance to other families with children battling cancer.

On September 13, 2004, Allison Leigh Scott, better known as Allie to all that loved her, passed away from the same disease as Taylor at the tender age of 8 months 27 days  after three rounds of chemotherapy, 80 blood transfusions, and a stem cell transplant. 

In October 2004, Larissa Linton (Taylors mom) and Jenny Scott (Allies mom) met, soon after the death of Jennys daughter Allie. The need for Heroes for Children became evident to Co-Founders Larissa and Jenny after they recounted not only the devastating effects of childhood  cancer during their daughters treatments, but also the blessings they each received from their community.  Unfortunately, they each saw many other   families struggling without the aid and care of others. Families were losing their homes, having their electricity shut off, and struggling to make everyday payments.
