Mission Statement
Honoring Nicki's Request

The primary mission of the Nicki Leach Foundation, a non-profit organization, is to provide modest financial assistance to young adults (18-30) afflicted with cancer. The Foundation has decided to focus on this particular age group, as it includes the highest number of underinsured individuals in the U.S., who are often caught between completion of education and actual employment with insurance. Most have already exhausted their financial resources, and have significant trouble finding jobs given their diagnoses and disabilities. We strongly urge you to support the Mission of the Nicki Leach Foundation."

At one time, Bunny's life seemed perfect. After her husband retired from the professional tennis circuit, where they traveled with their two children around the world, they packed up and moved to paradise, Florida. But when their sixteen-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer, paradise quickly turned into a nightmare.

As the family drifted apart, Bunny put her faith in God and fought for her daughter's life. Turtle Shells: Heading Through Cancer , a mother's gripping memoir, is sure to tug at heart strings as she recounts her daughter's battle against brain cancer and her fight to be happy again.
