I am participating in the Race for Every Child in honor of Kasey Zachmann, a 4th grader at Juliet's elementary school who has been battling brain cancer since 2021. All money raised through Team KVZ goes to the neuro oncology discovery fund at Children’s to try to urgently find a cure for Kasey and kids like her.
From Kasey's Family:
Kasey is a compassionate, smart, creative 9-year-old who wants to be a chef when she grows up. She loves music (especially Gwen Stefani and The Lumineers), art, dance, Legos, and spending time with her family, especially her little sister Zara.
Medulloblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer, and we need more funding to help find a cure for kids like Kasey! Kasey has participated in 3 clinical trials that were unsuccessful in treating her cancer, and she is currently undergoing maintenance treatment to try to keep her tumors stable for as long as possible. She needs more and better treatment options! We are in a race against time for new discoveries to be made that can hopefully cure Kasey. We appreciate anything you can do to help us win this race! All donations to Team KVZ will go directly to the Neuro Oncology Discovery Fund at Children’s National.
Children's National is a critical community resource and a lifeline for the children in this area. Juliet and Jack have both received top-notch care from the doctors, nurses, radiologists, and child life specialists at Childrens, helping to lighten burdens that felt too heavy to carry.We support Childrens and their mission!
