Strikes Against Cancer
“Born from the heart and resilience of an 11-year-old, Strikes Against Cancer® emerged as a beacon of hope amidst the tumult of Geordon Cox’s mother’s grueling four-year struggle against endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer. Moved by a potent mix of frustration, love, and boundless energy, Geordon elected to stand shoulder to shoulder with his mother, transforming his emotions into a force for good. Thus, Strikes Against Cancer® took root, a testament to Geordon’s tactile devotion. Tragically, Geordon bid farewell to his beloved mother, Lisa, in November 2012, but her, and his Grandmother’s spirit Rosemary Cox, lives on in the enduring legacy.”
After more than a decade of relentless dedication, Strikes Against Cancer’s tournament has transformed into a profound community Life Event. Families now journey from far and wide, arriving a week ahead of the games to leverage the unparalleled cancer facilities in North Texas, nestled within the heart of the Dallas Metro-Plex. The evolution of Strikes Against Cancer stands as an unwavering testament to our commitment in the battle against this disease, epitomized by our steadfast support for diverse clinical research initiatives through the conduit of our revolutionary Partner’s Direct Donation Portal.
Moreover, our collective of community resources, forged from genuine real-life experiences, has profoundly influenced our mission, as reflected not only in our meticulously curated Cancer Facts but also in the transformative tapestry of our Prayer Requests. In this arduous journey, no one should ever feel alone. Strikes Against Cancer stands with all those traversing this challenging and crucible marathon.
