Rally Kid Research Fund

CREATE YOUR OWN RALLY KID RESEARCH FUND

Many of our Rally Kid families have created Rally Kid Research Funds in honor of their incredible Rally Kids. These funds eliminate the need to create your own foundation or charity and enable you to support the cause close to your heart. Through these individual funds, you can also Rally your friends and family to do the same!

Ava was a brave 4 ½ year-old who was only two weeks away from starting pre-kindergarten when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer – an undifferentiated sarcoma. Though early indications showed that the cancer was responding to treatment, she passed away unexpectedly shortly before her 5th birthday. Ava always told her family that she loves everybody, even people she does not know. Ava’s strength and resolve were amazing during her fight with cancer.

Just before her third birthday in 2015, scans revealed that Brecklynn had cancer all over her little body. Her main tumor was in her left lung, two in her brain, two in her spine, one in her arm and one in her leg. Three days into the journey, she went into major brain surgery to remove the two brain tumors. A few days after, on Thanksgiving day, she began her first round of chemo. Since then she has been through 10 rounds of chemo, two major lung surgeries to remove the tumors, 20 rounds of whole brain radiation and many other procedures. She relapsed in February 2017 and is currently fighting cancer yet again. Her road is a long one with no real certainties on what is next. Her case is extremely rare, with less than 40 cases of PPB spreading have been documented. Her strength is awe inspiring. She is truly an inspiration and just loves living life. She is a different princess daily and loves dressing up with her little sister.

To know Elliot Henson was to know happiness. He exuded happiness. Whether it be through his dancing, laughter, wisdom, or hugs, Elliot was a bright light who when in his presence you could feel his joy. His positive spirit and unique thoughtfulness displayed maturity well beyond his eight years. Born on 10.10.10, he was born on a date that signifies beginnings and endings with promise in between. Sadly, the time between Elliot’s beginning and end was much too short, losing him on December 27, 2018, but his promise is still so great.

Anyone who has met Gus will tell you that he has a smile and energy that is absolutely infectious. He is a happy, energetic, active 4-year-old boy.

On November 12th, after his day at preschool, Gus was experiencing leg pain so intense he began to cry.

His symptoms seemed to improve after some rest, until the next morning when we rushed him to urgent care. His leg was in so much pain he wasn’t even willing to walk down the stairs.

On November 16th, after countless hours of testing and waiting in the hospital, we were handed the hardest news of our lives: Gus’ specimen in the lab was malignant.

On Wednesday November 21, we learned that our sweet Gus had a tumor in his leg that was in the Ewing Sarcoma-family, a bone cancer that attacked the femur and surrounding soft tissue. He would need some concentrated chemotherapy treatments. The other blow we received was that Gus’ tumor is very close to the growth plate in his leg, leading to some intense surgical options to save his leg or at least part of it.

Please consider donating today to help fund Ewing Sarcoma Research. Every dollar counts to help find a cure!
