In 2007, the team changed its name from “Friends of Allie” to “Friends of Heroes” to better identify the group and align it with its mission, which is to put a face on childhood cancer. The team originally was created in 2004 to honor Allie Scott, an 8-month-old baby who passed away from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in September 2004.

About Friends of Heroes (FOH)
Friends of Heroes, formerly Friends of Allie, is the
first and largest national Friends and Family Team for Light The Night Walk.
Motivated by the plight of Allie Scott (www.scotthousehold.com) and other
children battling blood cancers like her, a grassroots movement emerged shortly
after Allie’s passing, resulting in the formation of FOH and its unprecedented
fundraising efforts for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. FOH enlarged its scope
to include affiliate teams—both corporate and Friends and Family teams—who share
their passion for finding a cure for pediatric blood cancers and making a
difference in the lives of families stricken by pediatric blood cancer. Their
tagline is “Putting a Face on Childhood Cancer.”
