In a world where so few resources exist for those dealing with both cancer and infertility, The Cyan Gray Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization that’s committed to changing that dynamic.

Our mission is to passionately fund metastatic breast cancer research, provide family-building grants, and inspire hope through quality content that will help more cancer thrivers and their loved ones build families.



We were founded in 2015 by Tricia Russo, an accomplished filmmaker. She’s a Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer Thriver and a mom who fought to have her son, Grayson, despite a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis in her early thirties. In the award-winning film that anchors our foundation, Love Always, Mom (2017), Tricia tells this story. This compelling documentary provides a rare look at what it’s really like to face an incurable cancer diagnosis and, as a result, walk an uncertain, intimidating path to having children through infertility, egg donation, and surrogacy.

As an organization, we are dedicated to shining a light on these kinds of stories by creating validating, empowering content to lift up those affected by cancer and infertility. We’re also here to give better tools to those that love and want to support them. In this spirit, we work as collaborative partners to many other related non-profit organizations. We also work directly with fertility practices, oncology practices, and other professionals who want to better serve and care for their patients.


In these partnerships, we offer a wide range of incredible film screening programs and educational resources from Love Always, Mom, including exciting live or virtual appearances by the filmmaker. These programs are perfect for driving awareness and advocacy. They provide engaging, thought-provoking entertainment for fundraising events, patient appreciation nights, community get-togethers and more. Whether you’d like to support your patients, your loved ones, or want to join us in shedding more light on cancer, infertility, or both – there are so many ways we can partner with you.

So, if you’re ready to help grow more family trees, let’s do it together. We’d love to speak with you soon.
