Millie DeClercq was the beloved daughter of Wesley and Gabriella DeClercq, dedicated Grain and Livestock farmers from Northwestern Illinois. In early September 2025, Millie was diagnosed with a rare pediatric cancer known as Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor (MRT), which had metastasized from her liver to her left lung. Despite courageous efforts, she passed away 19 days later.

The Millie Moo Foundation was established to honor Millie’s memory by providing vital support to families confronting similar devastating pediatric cancer diagnoses. Additionally, The Foundation is committed to empowering the next generation by offering scholarships to students pursuing careers in agriculture. Through these initiatives, we strive to create a lasting impact that reflects Millie’s spirit and supports families and communities affected by these profound challenges. Come join #MilliesMOOvement and help us make a difference!
