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.”
