Board Members

The RMS Foundation is run by a small, but mighty, team of three founding board members: Alyssa Schaller, Chelsey Gebel, and Bryan Henne. Alyssa knew a greater meaning had to fill the gaping hole left behind by Ryan’s passing. Therefore, in Spring of 2021, she established the foundation and approached Chelsey and Bryan to join her on this new endeavor, and both accepted the invitation without reservation. As a team, the board takes immense responsibility and pride in carrying on Ryan’s legacy. The goal of the RMS Foundation is to be an Esophageal Cancer Foundation that is supportive to patients and families impacted by diagnosis.
