Our Team
Lindsay Foulon
Co-Founder
The greatest honour of my life was being called “mommy” by my sweet girl, Hayden.
For 6 long and very stressful years, I had the honour and privilege of holding Hayden’s hand as she walked through her childhood cancer journey. As a parent to a brave warrior, I know all too well how present you need to be when your child is on treatment, while at the same time maintaining a home, family, and making sure the bills get paid on time.
Hayden has given me a purpose in this world. While I can’t make cancer go away as much as I wish I could, my wish is that our foundation can in some way alleviate a little stress that I know families can and will face.

Our Hero, Hayden
The Hayden’s Hope Foundation was created in memory of Hayden Foulon who, after a nearly six-year battle against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), hung up her superhero cape and left this world in October 2019 at the age of 7.
While Hayden's battle with leukemia often defined her, she was so much more than her illness and wanted nothing more than to be a kid. She loved going to school when she could and soaked up knowledge like a sponge. She spent hours planting flowers and collecting rocks at grandma & grandpa's, and trying every possible new experience she could - from bowling and birthday parties to Disney and Niagara Falls. She loved SuperWings and Paw Patrol and was never far from her iPad, but could also spend hours outside on the swing or in the sandbox.
She loved belting out the Beatles or Moana with the windows down while driving with mommy and had the best belly laugh this world has ever heard. And she loved nothing more than watching her best friend Mitch 1-6 play hockey (and created a new legion of Maple Leaf fans in the process!). She will be remembered for being easy to love, kind to her core, and someone who refused to quit.
