Tyler's Story, the heart of TRF.

Tyler's Story, the heart of TRF.

Tyler Robinson’s inspiring spirit is at the core of everything we do. At just 16 years old, Tyler faced his battle with cancer with courage, positivity, and resilience. His connection with Imagine Dragons and their song “It’s Time” became a symbol of hope that extended far beyond his own journey. After Tyler gained his angel wings in 2013, his family and the band joined forces to create the Tyler Robinson Foundation, ensuring his legacy lives on by supporting families affected by pediatric cancer. Tyler’s story reminds us that even in the darkest times, strength, love, and community can light the way. His legacy is our mission.

"The TRF Signature Grant was most impactful by allowing our family to focus on Jayden’s treatment rather than the worrying about how we would be able to pay for his medical bills on top of our regular bills and expenses. "

Get Support

At the Tyler Robinson Foundation, we understand that a pediatric cancer diagnosis impacts every part of a family’s life. That’s why we provide holistic support to families—offering financial grants to cover essential non-medical expenses like housing, travel, and groceries, as well as end-of-life costs when needed. Our programs are designed to ease the burden so families can focus on what matters most: caring for their child. Whether you need help navigating financial challenges or simply want to celebrate a milestone during treatment, TRF is here to stand by you. Together, we’ll build a stronger family.
