Zachary is a sweet and loving boy who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on November 15, 2005. He has been in remission since early December 2005 and has taken chemotherapy daily for the past 3.5 years, in addition to enduring numerous bone marrow aspirations, lumbar punctures and blood transfusions. He never complains and is brave and wise beyond his years.
In July of 2006, his family had the distinct honor of hosting the Rally Across America team during their ride through NYC. Zachary started school in September 2006 and although he is frequently absent, he very much enjoys his time there when he is able to attend, Some of Zachary's favorite things are riding his ATV, Pokemon, Digimon, Dinosaurs and spending time with his brother Jonathan and sister Lauren.
Zachary and his family are confident that once Zachary's cancer is cured his leukemia journey will be just another snapshot in a miraculous life. The cure rate of Zachary's cancer jumped from 40% to75% in two decades due to the generosity of our predecessors who supported pediatric cancer research, but a 75% cure rate is not good enough. Please consider making a donation to help find a 100% cure!
