OUR MISSION

Five Time Foundation™ empowers cancer warriors to reclaim mobility, confidence, and connection after limb loss. Founded by 6-time survivor Rich Canci.

The "Five Time" Philosophy

Named after the sheer number of times Rich had to overcome the impossible, "Five Time" represents the moment when survival becomes second nature and Thriving becomes the only objective. We believe every amputee deserves the chance to thrive, not just survive.

The Founder

Rich Canci

"My journey with cancer didn't just test my body; it redefined my purpose. After six battles and losing a limb, I realized that the greatest medicine is community and the ability to move forward."

Rich Canci is a proud six-time cancer survivor and amputee who founded the Five Time Foundation™ in 2016. After facing the immense physical, emotional, and financial challenges that come with multi-stage cancer treatments and eventual limb loss, Rich dedicated his life to ensuring others don't have to walk that path alone.

His story is one of unwavering perseverance. From the first diagnosis to the final reclamation of his mobility with a prosthetic limb, Rich has embodied the "Five Time" spirit—a baseline of resilience that expects challenges but refuses to be defined by them.

Today, Rich personally oversees the foundation's efforts, connecting with warriors, sourcing high-end prosthetics, and advocating for amputee rights and accessibility across the globe.

Success Story

Connor Young

Connor is a courageous 5-year-old from Illinois battling Ewing Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. After 15+ rounds of chemotherapy and a life-changing rotationplasty surgery, Connor continues to fight with incredible strength.

Through the Five Time Foundation™, we’ve raised funds to bring Connor and his family to A Step Ahead Prosthetics, where he’ll receive a world-class prosthetic giving him the freedom to move, play, and just be a kid again.

How We Raise Funds

We raise funds through nightlife events, community gatherings, and merchandise sales, creating meaningful experiences while providing vital support to cancer patients and survivors who have experienced limb loss.
