Jenny's Quest is the natural outgrowth of the life of Jenny Boxer, a vibrant, empathetic, and loving girl who was diagnosed with brain stem cancer during the fifth grade, and lost her life a year later at age eleven and a half. Jenny's battle with cancer was valiant, yet ultimately not successful; however during the year she fought for her life she defined the terms grace and strength.

Jenny's Quest has been created in her name to support the medical and scientific researchers who strive to find a cure, and to help other children stuck with this dreaded disease, and their families. Jenny would want it that way.
