Fighting Childhood Cancer.
These are the stories of some of the warriors we’re in this fight for.
Aidan Rawls
Aidan has finished upfront therapy and is beating cancer on one of the Beat Childhood Cancer clinical trials.
Brooke Hester
Our perfectly happy, healthy toddler had a sudden painless limp which rapidly progressed into debilitating pain and a trail of various misdiagnoses. By Thursday, November 18, 2010, the world crashed down upon us as answers came and the word cancer arrived in our lives accompanying our child’s name.
Caroline Lantz
The Lantz family lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where Caroline is beating neuroblastoma at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, on one of the Beat Childhood Cancer clinical trials.
Caden Shrauger
Caden is doing great at school, playing with friends, and learning new sports. And, most importantly, evidence of his cancer has not returned. We are so thankful for trials such as this that have given us hope!
Emma German
Throughout Emma’s cancer journey her family did their best to truly live life to the fullest, making memories every step of the way.
Gabby
Gabby is 2 years old and fighting neuroblastoma. We had the opportunity to meet up with her and her family in Poway, California.
Grayson Dragon Hernandez
Grayson is one of the sweetest, happiest babies you have ever seen. He is now 14 1/2 months old and doing beautifully. He is still way off the growth chart but he has grown all his hair back and is meeting his benchmarks. He is a remarkable little boy.
Hannah Shroyer
Hannah Shroyer is beating neuroblastoma cancer in Sarasota, FL on one of the Beat Childhood Cancer clinical trials.
Harlow
Harlow is beating neuroblastoma cancer at 6 yrs old in Evansville, WI. Her dad, Andy, had an idea to build a home and sell it, with all proceeds going to the very clinical trial Harlow is on.
John Gegen
Our lives were forever changed that day as we were thrust into a world where our child had cancer. A cancer we had never heard of before… stage IV, high risk neuroblastoma.
Joshy
Joshy is an energetic 4 year old that loves to be silly, dance, and spend time with his almost 3 year old little brother and baby sister. He’s beating neuroblastoma in San Diego, CA.
Lily-Mae Morrison
We brought her to the doctor expecting the diagnosis to be a kidney infection. Within two days we were told she had neuroblastoma…
Max Mikulak
Max fought bravely, entering a clinical trial in Vermont where he received nifurtimox in combination with other chemo agents.
Melina Rinolo
Through all the ups and downs and changes Melina always stood strong. Did what she had to and never gave up.
Neva Nariani
Neva was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at age 3. Her outgoing personality is a joy to be around! Neva’s currently beating neuroblastoma on the Beat Childhood Cancer DFMO clinical trial.
Parker Shaw
Parker is from San Diego, CA and was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013. His family started a nonprofit called Team Parker for Life and has helped to fund the Beat Childhood Cancer clinical trial Parker completed. Today, Parker is cancer-free.
Rea Paterson
She danced and smiled through 15 months of intense treatment, consisting of 6 rounds of chemotherapy, countless surgical procedures, an autologous stem cell transplant, radiation, and 6 cycles of immunotherapy.
Sofia Anderson
Sofia Isabella is a fierce and spunky little girl. Her personality and her eyes are what make her unique and special. She is an angel of God and loved by all, including her brother, Aiden (“Bubba” to her).
Tessa Prothero
Tessa was a beautiful little girl who fought stage 4 neuroblastoma. She had a sign on her hospital door: “if you want to come in, dance in.”
Will Lacey
After being off of all treatment for over 3 years he is attending middle school, playing hockey and lacrosse and doing all the things we could have only dreamed about when he was just 2 and ‘incurable’.
Xander White
Because of Xander we are fighting for our kids against neuroblastoma and childhood cancer.
