A Beacon of Hope in the Fight Against Childhood Cancer

Honoring a Legacy

Four Diamonds was established by Charles and Irma Millard after their son, Christopher, passed away at the age of 14 after battling cancer for three years.

Christopher’s story of a knight’s quest for courage, wisdom, honesty and strength was the inspiration for the name Four Diamonds. Through Four Diamonds, Chris Millard and his legendary story of Sir Millard live on, and serve as a beacon of hope for children and their families fighting cancer.
