History

The Tyler Foundation is registered in Japan as a non-profit organization.[6] The office is located in Minamiazabu, Minato, Tokyo. They were founded in 2006 by the chair of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan's Business Expansion Committee, Mark Ferris, and Kimberly Forsythe-Ferris.[7][8] The organization was dedicated in memory of their son, Tyler, who had been diagnosed with infant Acute lymphoblastic leukemia before he was one month old.[9]

Born in 2003,[10] Tyler passed away after almost two years of treatment at the National Center for Child Health and Development in Setagaya, Tokyo [11] in June 2005.[12] [13] The high standard of medical care they experienced contrasted with the lack of Psychosocial support offered to families and children with cancer in Japan, and this precipitated the founding of the Tyler Foundation.[11][14]

The organization's mission is to improve quality of life during treatment and ensure a smooth and successful transition to normal life after treatment.[9] The foundation's aim is to fundamentally changing the way patients’ care is administered throughout Japan in the pediatric Oncology wards.[10] They concentrate on patient and parent support such as an on-staff psychologist, support groups and childcare for siblings.[10] The group has helped children come to terms with their illnesses with programs that have children diagnosed with cancer being given a length of string with beads that spell out their name (also known as the beads of courage).[15] The program was introduced to Japan by the Tyler Foundation in 2010 and is thought to decrease illness-related distress; increase the use of positive coping strategies; enable children to find meaning in illness, and restore a sense of self in children coping with serious illness.[16][17] The foundation also introduced one of Japan's first full-time [Therapy dog] in January 2010 at Shizuoka Children’s Hospital following 18 months of training in the US. The dog goes bedside to give children courage and accompanies them during medical procedures.[9]

Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the Tyler Foundation decided to offer its expertise to those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. The foundation's Shine On! "Smile Ambassador", Guy Totaro, travels to schools in the affected areas getting the kids to smile as a way of relieving stress.[18]

Programs

The foundation has the following programs in 19 Japanese hospitals:[18]

  • Shine On! Beads of Courage — decreases illness-related distress; increases the use of positive coping strategies; enables children to find meaning in illness; and restores a sense of self in children coping with serious illness. Every time the child undergoes a procedure such as an operation, Injection, X-ray, or chemotherapy, they receive a glass bead to add to their chain.[15]
  • Shine On! Counseling and Support — maximises quality of life for pediatric oncology patients and their families throughout the cancer treatment process.
  • Shine On! House — provides a complete support facility for families of children with cancer.
  • Shine On! Therapy Dog — improves treatment outcome and children’s approach to cancer treatment/therapy through Japan’s first, full time Animal Assisted Therapy programme at a children’s hospital.[9]

Shine On! Songs

In 2011, the foundation created a record label and inspired world famous musicians, producers, and song writers to produce a music album in order to raise funds for the foundation's programs. Shine On! Songs Volume One was released in on Sept 30th of that year and featured songs by artists such as Maxi Priest, Donna Burke, Julian Lennon, Mark Ballas, Rie Fu, Monday Michiru and many more. Lyrics where also donated by Alan Menken and Academy Award winning lyricist Tim Rice.[19][20][21]
