The Wanserski Foundation
My husband Tom passed unexpectedly due to a low grade glioma brain tumor on 04/14/21 at the age of 42. From diagnosis to his unexpected passing was exactly 14 days. Losing Tom has turned my entire world upside down and our little family has been rocked to the core. Tom was the absolute love of my life, an incredible father to our two children Axton, 4 and Camryn, 1. Tom loved his job in Sales at Rocket Industrial, was a passionate, avid outdoorsman and lover of all Wisconsin Sports. Tom coached track for 20 years and mentoring young athletes was one of his purest joys in life.
In our time of need, the outpouring of support from those around us has been overwhelming to say the least. Our story has shown me that cancer does not discriminate. I learned all too quickly the emotional, physical and financial strain a cancer diagnosis puts on an entire family. I do not know what we would have done without people answering the call to help us. We have received so much gracious support from so many and I do not know where we would have been without it.
The type of tumor my husband had targets men in the same age group, likely in his similar stage of life. My heart can not bear to think of another family walking through this horrific journey without the level of support we were so lucky to have.
In this incredible time of loss we feel called to help other families who are walking the same path as we have. With that being said, The Wanserski Foundation is being formed to honor my husband, Thomas J. Wanserski, by providing service and financial support to other families who need it. His legacy will live on in our acts of service and support to others.
The Brewers organization has blessed us immensely by providing us this platform to share our story and begin our next chapter of helping other families in their own brain cancer journeys.
All donations collected will be used to complete the formation of The Wanserski Foundation and will go directly to families who need our support in their time of need.
