The Richi Art Gallery
Richi Childhood Cancer Foundation was born when Ricardo García’s son, Richi, was diagnosed with high-risk medulloblastoma, one of the most aggressive childhood brain tumors in existence. He had just turned 6 years old. One year later, Richi finished his treatment after having endured 18 surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy. Richi is now considered a cancer survivor and continues his fight daily while living with a long list of side effects. In their fight against the disease, Richi’s parents discovered an unknown reality and decided that they could not just sit back and do nothing.
