At age 3 Emilio was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), his parents Richard and Diane felt their world turned upside down cycling through emotions including fear, promise, desperation, and hope.  After a hard battle Richard and Diane honored his memory by creating the Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF) to help low-income underserved families meet basic needs, especially transportation. For over 15 years Emilio’s spirit can be felt in the hundreds of young patients ENF helps annually — laughter in the van, a comforting hand during hard times at the hospital, and the smiling eyes of our families. He looks after us all.  The Emilio Nares Foundation offers highlighted programs which includes Ride with Emilio, Emilio Snack bags, Family Support Programs, Loving Tabs shirts, and End of Life Program. They have expanded into Imperial Valley, Orange County, and soon to be in LA. Since then Richard Nares was honored as a CNN Hero!
