President And Vice President
Zachary and Molly Poole
We are Molly and Zach Poole—parents, attorneys, and co-founders of the Benjamin the Brave Medulloblastoma Cancer Foundation. But the most important title we will ever hold is Mom and Dad to our three beautiful children.
Benjamin, our firstborn, made us parents. He made us brave. He made us whole.
Shortly after his second birthday, Benjamin was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of Medulloblastoma. From that moment on, our lives became a fight to save his. We traveled from our home in Charlotte, North Carolina, to hospitals across the country—seeking hope, answers, and ultimately, a cure. Despite Benjamin’s incredible strength and our relentless efforts, the cure we so desperately needed never came. Benjamin passed away at just three years old.
There are no words for that kind of loss. But there is love. Deep, constant, and unconditional love.
We are also the proud parents of two daughters, who are the center of our world. But a piece of our hearts will always belong to Benjamin. And because he’s no longer here for us to pour our love, energy, and care into, we have found this Foundation—his Foundation—to be the place where that love now lives.
The Benjamin the Brave Foundation is born from our grief, but it lives because of our love.
As attorneys, we’ve spent our careers standing up for others. Now, we are using that same strength and resolve to stand for children like Benjamin, and for the families who are walking the path we’ve walked. We are committed to funding the research that will one day lead to a cure for Medulloblastoma—the cure that didn’t come in time for our son—and to offering direct, compassionate support to families who need it most.
This is Benjamin’s legacy. This is where our love lives on.
And this is the reason we fight.
We invite you to join us in honoring Benjamin’s life by bringing hope to others.
