The Keren Emrich Foundation was founded in June of 2002 in memory of Keren Rebecca Emrich. The foundation has one purpose: supporting its signature program, Road of Life, a cancer prevention program for children.

She would follow her brothers, Rob and Michael , with her eyes, in awe, in wonderment, curiosity and most of all total love. Keren was a toddler who loved life. She embraced life with her whole being-laughing, playing and hugging.

Keren lived with us for only 34 months. She was our baby, our joy and our love. In hindsight, we believe she was an old soul-put on this earth to teach many lessons-daily her absence but her presence reminds us of the value and essence of life-to love with all our hearts, to cherish each other with respect and dignity and to be grateful.
