Welcome to The Rippel Effect

 

Hi, I'm Joey Rippel. Thank you for visiting this website. I am a teenager who was diagnosed with cancer and who has decided to turn this negative life experience into something positive.

I founded The Rippel Effect in order to help other teens who are fighting cancer. Specifically, I hope to help teens recognize the strength they have within, so they can remain as active as possible during and after cancer treatment.

We all know being a teen is difficult enough, but try adding cancer and all its issues on top of that. It takes a lot of courage to fight the cancer, but it also takes courage to face your “normal” everyday stuff, when you know you aren’t at your best, and you aren’t quite the same person you were.

Utilizing a lot of different strategies, we hope to encourage, empower, and motivate teens during and after their treatment. We will also support and fund organizations and research studies that are working toward solutions to lessen the effect cancer and its treatment have on teens. You can read more about this in “Who Benefits".

However, before we can help we first have to raise funds and awareness. We have a very unique fundraiser which epitomizes a true ripple effect - you could be a part of something really big for only a three dollar donation! Check out The Rippel Effect Project.

With your help, we at The Rippel Effect would like to make life and recovery from cancer easier and faster. Please continue to explore our site to see what we are all about and what you can do to help.

Become a part of something bigger, become part of The Rippel Effect.

  Thank you,

We are individuals who together make up something bigger

Our purpose is to raise funds for programs which will alleviate the struggles of teens

We are unique in that: we are not limited in the scope of services we provide to teens facing a fight against cancer

We do this because Joey wants to have a greater impact on the world than cancer had on his life and turn his experience into something positive
