ABOUT THE LAUGHLIN FAMILY FOUNDATION

Craig and Linda Laughlin, along with their family, founded the Laughlin Family Foundation to bring awareness, support, and research to rare cancers. Craig is a former NHL player and current Capitals TV Analyst on NBC Sports Washington. In April 2018, Craig's wife, Linda, was diagnosed with a rare form of endometrial cancer – uterine serous carcinoma – a disease that only affects approximately 6,000 women per year in the United States. While Linda's diagnosis came as a shock, it also shed light on the realization that there are hundreds of other rare cancers. Affecting over 100,000 people each year, there is very limited patient and clinical knowledge for these cancers.

The Foundation believes that every cancer patient should have access to the support, treatment options, and/or research that they need. The Laughlin Family Foundation believes that every cancer deserves a voice, no matter how many patients are diagnosed each year.
