Little Eric’s Foundation(LEF) donated dozens of soft, gold blankets to several children’s cancer Centers.

The project was the idea of Eric’s mom Jessica, president of LEF. She wants the children to feel the warm and comfort of a cozy blanket during their treatments and recovery.

LEF was founded after the passing of Eric Speicher Jr., who died Dec. 23, 2013 from an ependymoma, brain tumor. LEF’s mission is to raise awareness to Childhood Cancers, financially assist children and their families and fund Pediatric Cancer research.
