Did you know? Each year in the U.S. approximately 15,780 children between the ages of birth and 19 years of age are diagnosed with cancer. Of that, over 800 parents throughout Northern California will hear the words, “Your child has cancer”.
Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly, and does not discriminate by ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region.
That’s why every September we take time to raise awareness & spread the word about childhood cancer.
When worlds collide… the result is pure magic! Keaton families were treated to an unforgettable experience at the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour, and the excitement was off the charts! One parent shared, “For a moment, we weren’t thinking about treatment or next steps – we were just together, smiling, dancing, and soaking it all in. It meant the world.”
Malachi is facing something no teenager should have to – a rare and aggressive cancer called myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma.
At an age where most kids are thinking about college and their next big adventure, Malachi is thinking about treatments, hospital stays, and fighting for his future. But what’s incredible is this: Malachi is still choosing to live fully. He’s choosing joy. He’s choosing moments.
