Theresa's Battleship Foundation is committed to providing funding for the clinical trials program within the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. The Foundation was established in honor of Theresa J. Fitzpatrick by her friends and family. Theresa lost her 3 year battle with a rare childhood cancer at the age of 19. The manner in which she lived was an inspiration to all who knew her. Theresa never lost the qualities that made her so special. She was a captain of both her high school girls soccer and tennis team, maintained a very active social life. and completed her first year of college as a biology major in pursuit of her dream to one day work in the medical field. While enduring so much, she was able to accomplish so much. Theresa did it all with an infectious smile that touched all who knew her.
