    18Loop: VR for Kids with Cancer

    Want to join me in making a difference? I am the CEO of 18Loop, and I'm raising money to benefit our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization as we deploy Virtual Reality (VR) headsets to childhood cancer families. Any donation will help make an impact. Virtual Reality helps our kids tolerate treatment, recover and thrive at home and in the hospital. VR stress management affects mood, immersion combats pain, and our kids get active through VR gaming. They also utilize virtual learning software and can collaborate with family, peers and friends.

    Our results show that 94% of our kids using Virtual Reality have a better experience in the hospital and at home as they fight the disease. Your donations will help us to improve their lives. All money raised will be targeted to our short-term goal of providing VR to 1% of all childhood cancer patients. There are 48,000 families affected by cancer. 18Loop hopes to provide Virtual Reality technology to 480 by June 30, 2024.
