Where the Money Goes

1: Family Services

2: Research

Bear Heart is committed to providing ​financial support for families affected by ​childhood cancer during and after ​treatment. By providing direct financial ​assistance, the foundation helps cover ​essential expenses such as medical bills, ​travel for treatment, and daily living costs. ​The goal is to ensure that families can ​focus on supporting their loved ones ​through their cancer journey without the ​added stress of financial strain.


Donating money to a childhood cancer ​research lab is a powerful way to support ​the advancement of treatments and cures ​for pediatric cancer. Research labs work ​on developing innovative therapies and ​improving survival rates for children. We ​endorse Children's Cancer Therapy ​Development Institute (cc-TDI) in Hillsboro ​Oregon. We follow their work and trust ​what they are doing 100%. Their mission is ​to translate scientific discovery into ​clinical trials.

One way to contribute, and have fun at the same time, is to host a ​fundraising event within your community, organization, club, or school. ​The event can be large or small, it all makes a difference!

“Our Y”

In July of 2015 our first born son, Tyce Bradley Campbell was ​diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma at the young age of 21 ​months old. A devilish and complex tumor had grown in his left ​calf muscle and wrapped around all of his blood vessels and ​nerves. Without any family history of cancer there were no ​answers as to why our son was about to fight for his life. Tyce ​received 43 weeks of Chemotherapy treatment at Primary ​Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City Utah. As his parents we ​experienced all of the pain and heartache that you can imagine ​and then some. Just one week after Tyce’s second birthday, he ​had his left leg amputated. We were cautioned by the team of ​doctors that if he did not have the amputation that the cancer ​was going to spread. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a very rare and ​aggressive form of soft tissue cancer. It was heartbreaking to ​see our son struggle through learning to walk again, puking ​every day, losing weight, losing color in his skin, losing his hair, ​and simply losing himself. We all fought hard! We are beyond ​grateful for his doctors and nurses, to our family and friends ​new and old that showed up in a BIG way. We couldn’t have ​fought the fight without you all! We as a family experienced ​unbelievable miracles. We had earthly angels and even ​heavenly angels with us.

Here in 2024, Tyce is now 11 years old. He rocks a cool robot leg ​and inspires many people all around the country. It’s Tyce’s ​world and we are just living in it! He is excelling in school and ​sports. He is the most determined and simply put, the TUFFEST ​boy around! We are proud of where he is today and we know ​that we are lucky and blessed.
