BrittiCares International (BCI) is a non-profit organization that was established to aid children and their families in dealing with the effects of childhood cancer. The organization was started by Brittiana Henderson and her family who experienced first-hand how childhood cancer strip away the joys of youth. Brittiana was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 10, yet through the pain and treatments, she inspired many with her selflessness and desire to help other children get through their illnesses. In January 2007, Brittiana lost her fight with cancer, but her spirit of faith and hope lives on through her memory and the work of the BrittiCares Foundation.
