why Tillman started the foundation...
Tillman started the foundation after his three month old daughter was diagnosed with a rare heart disease. The doctors said it would be fatal without a heart transplant the doctors then pulled Tillman aside and said that she might not make it through the night. He said it was probably the most horrific thing he has ever heard in his life... Tillmans daughter then got a heart transplant or some might say a second chance.
What the Cornerstone Foundation does
Now that Tillman experienced that with his daughter he is devoted to providing sick children all throughout Chicago an opportunity for a better life and a second chance... It is also to help assist the families of sick children. His foundation mainly focuses on the kids in the Chicago area who are in need of organ transplant. Since 2005 the foundation and Tillman have personally touched the lives and hearts of millions.
