About Us

Our Founder

Crissy Johnson is a Philanthropist Entreprenuer, Author, and Childhood Cancer Advocate who truly believes that life’s inevitable challenges are an opportunity to pause, pray and reflect.

Not only surviving but thriving even in the midst of unexpected change, challenges and adversity. In 2017 while finishing up her degree, her son David at the age of 1 year old, was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a Pediatric Cancer. The wife and mother of 4 advocated for her son as well as others throughout his traumatic journey. At that moment , she became, “The MomAdvocate.”

Her personal journal turned into a book highlighting the emotional and physical struggles she encountered on this journey. “Fighting for King David” is a glimpse into Crissy’s adventurous world as a MomAdvocate. Her story of thriving is one that she can tell through many chapters. No matter the challenge, she continued to reinvent herself by always looking forward to living and making every moment count.

She is the co author in Amazon best seller book titled, Undeterred. Crissy is also the co-author of an International Amazon best seller book titled, Finding Joy through your journey.

She has continued to reinvent herself by always looking forward to living and making everyday count. For the past two years Crissy has put audiences to ease while inspiring them through her personal story. Audiences ranging from cancer survivors, fighters, healthcare professionals and caregivers.

Whether a keynote speaker, panelist, or host, Mrs.Johnson continues to inspire her audience with her gifts of honesty, courage hope and laughter. As a need to fulfill her passion for advocacy, the MomAdvocate Foundation, 501(c)(3) non profit organization was launched. Their mission is empower, educate and provide resources and support for Childhood Cancer families.

From Tragedy to Triumph, she has overcame many obstacles. As she would say, “Plant a seed of awareness and watch it grow.”
