Lane was a beaming, spirited and loving child who always referred to himself by his first and middle names, Lane Thomas. Parents Matt and Melissa and their daughter Ella established The Lane Thomas Foundation as an enduring way to remember the light and hope he brought to the world.
The Lane Thomas Foundation was established to give honor and light to Lane’s life. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting families of children needing life-saving transplants.
April is National Donate Life Month & April 18-24 is National Pediatric Transplant Week

The Foundation continues to evaluate expanding their partnerships with transplant centers in other parts of the United States.
