About Us
Anni's Army Foundation was started by Mark and Lynn Meier to honor their daughter Annika. Annika (Anni) was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumor on June 30, 2021. Medulloblastoma is a brain tumor of the cerebellum. The cerebellum controls balance and coordinated movements. The cerebellum is found near the brainstem in a region called the posterior fossa at the back of the brain. This fast-growing tumor can spread to other areas of the brain and spinal cord through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). About 500 children in the United States per year are diagnosed with a medulloblastoma tumor. To us, that is 500 too many.Anni's Army Foundation was formed to raise money to assist with the research of pediatric brain tumors, other challenges that comes from the harsh treatments as well as working with local children's hospital to help families in need of financial assistance. Our hope is the ongoing research supported in part by our organization will help other pediatric brain cancer patients and families.
