summer's way Foundation
A Foundation established to honor the memory of Summer Michelle Hammond, and her values.
Summer Hammond was a joyful, loving, determined young woman, who maintained a sense of humor, a strong competitive spirit, and a zest for life despite the diagnosis of Rhabdomyosarcoma.
The mantra "be strong, be positive, be better", will forever reflect Summer's way of being.
The Summer's Way Foundation aims to further this incredible woman's legacy through advancing childhood cancer and Rhabdo research, recognizing through scholarships, graduating high school students in the community who have faced adversity, and connecting families dealing with Rhabdomyosarcoma and childhood cancer through webinars and support groups.
