Meet Izzy
Izzy is three years old and battling stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Izzy was diagnosed on April 13, 2018 after 2 months of misdiagnosis. She only had the cancer in the bone marrow of her legs and some in the spine.
Since then, she has gone through 7 rounds of chemo, 1 stem cell removal and 1 stem cell transplant. Her most recent biopsy and scans, done right before round 7, showed the cancer is almost gone!
Right now she is in the hospital for her 8th and final round of chemo along with her 2nd stem cell transplant. Much like the 7th round, the 8th round will be a long one with a 3-4 week stay in the hospital. Once that round is done, she will have more testing and 6 months of immunotherapy and then she will be DONE!
Izzy's ability to keep her amazing smile even through all her cancer treatments is inspiring. You can follow her story on facebook at Team Izzy- the Princess Warrior, our Hero.

Team Emery Forever
because
emery inspired a rebellion
She was small but she was fierce.
Emery was only 2 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer, not just cancer but Stage 4 Neuroblastoma with the odds stacked against her from day one.
She fought more bravely than any child ever should, but the available treatments failed her.
Now we fight back. This foundation was created to save and support kids with Neuroblastoma - in memory of Emery.
We must change this.
