The David Justus Joyful Moments Fund

David Justus, died at the age of 51 on March 26th, 2020, after an almost two year battle with glioblastoma.

He believed that life should not be measured by time, but by joyful moments. He was blessed to have many, both before and after his brain cancer diagnosis. His wife Rachel, and kids Emma and Oliver, were known as The Justus League. The photos of The Justus League on this page represent a sampling of joyful moments the family shared after his initial diagnosis. They established this fund to honor their dad and help deserving families create amazing moments of their own. Please help celebrate David’s legacy by donating to the David Justus Joyful Moments Fund to enable families in need facing similar challenges to create their own moments of joy.

About Making Headway Foundation

The David Justus Joyful Moments Fund is administered by Making Headway Foundation and will directly help families who have a child diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor.

Making Headway Foundation’s mission is to provide care and comfort for children with brain and spinal cord tumors while funding medical research geared to better treatments and a cure. Medical science has made significant, rapid advances in the treatment of pediatric brain and spinal cord tumors. Afflicted children are living longer than ever before. Yet even the best medical team can address only some aspects of the care and support these children and their families need. Making Headway provides supportive care and comfort to families of children diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor, before surgery, during the hospital stay, and after the child returns home. Our programs and services are designed to help children and their families cope with the fear, anxiety, and neurological consequences of hospitalization, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. At the same time, Making Headway is helping to find a cure, funding vital medical research in a field that has long been underfunded.

Making Headway is grateful to the Justus Family for choosing to honor David’s legacy with their generosity. Making Headway Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, EIN 13-3906297. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
