About SkiFast

The SkiFast Foundation, founded by Campbell Sullivan in 2019, is dedicated to advocating for pediatric cancer research and providing scholarships to support young cancer warriors in their pursuit of joy and activity. After being diagnosed with a rare form of Ewing’s Sarcoma in 2017, Campbell, a passionate ski racer, battled the disease for nearly four years while continuing to race and coach.

The foundation aims to ease the financial and emotional burdens of a cancer diagnosis by funding adaptive sports equipment, art camps, bikes, and other activities that bring happiness to these young fighters. By encouraging them to "stay in the game," SkiFast recognizes the importance of mental and physical well-being during challenging times.

Since its inception in 2017, SkiFast has awarded over 60 scholarships to pediatric cancer warriors, helping them pursue their passions and reclaim their joy. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity, the SkiFast Foundation is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of young fighters by supporting their mental and physical well-being during and after their battles with cancer. Through these scholarships, the foundation empowers kids to engage in activities that bring them happiness and fulfillment. SkiFast thanks you for your support!

Our fight for pediatric cancer funding

Only 4% of federal government cancer research funding goes to study pediatric cancer. In 2017 breast cancer received $545 million dollars of the 5 Billion dollar National Cancer Institute funding while is estimated that pediatric cancer received 4% of that budget or $200 million.

Our "Why"

43 children per day or 15,780 children per year are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. That means that every 3 minutes a parent hears their child has cancer. Cancer is the number one cause of death by disease among children, mainly because there have only been 3 drugs developed since 1980. Comparably, 184 drugs have been developed for adults.

What is a sarcoma cancer?

Sarcoma is an uncommon group of cancers that arise in the bones and connective tissue such as fat and muscle. In most cases, it’s not clear what causes sarcoma. Treatment may include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Campbell's sarcoma arose in the soft tissue in her calf.
