Learn the Game & Support a Great Cause
Lauren's First and Goal is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, a labor of love started in 2004 by John and Marianne Loose in honor of their daughter, Lauren, a pediatric brain tumor survivor. The Loose family started the foundation as a way to help other families who are battling childhood cancer.
Since its inception, LFG has raised more than $2.7 million toward its mission to provide financial support for brain tumor research and cancer services, to offer financial and emotional support to families living with pediatric cancer, and to increase awareness of the disease. These goals are made possible through the funding gained through LFG Football Clinic, Camp and charitable contributions.
Lauren's Story
Lauren was born with Neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow along nerves and affects other tissues like bones and skin. Diagnosed with brain tumors and bilateral optic gliomas before her second birthday, Lauren’s journey has been marked by incredible resilience through multiple diagnoses and treatments.
Over the years, Lauren has faced a range of challenges, including Evan's Syndrome, a rare blood disorder; malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor; Moya Moya disease, which led to strokes and brain surgery; and Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease causing muscle weakness. She has endured chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, and countless therapies while managing vision loss, neuropathic pain, endocrine issues, and other lasting effects of her treatments.
Despite these hardships, Lauren remains a beacon of positivity. Her infectious laugh, enthusiasm, and determination inspire everyone around her. She finds joy in everyday moments, treasures life's simple pleasures, and embodies courage and hope in the face of adversity.
