Welcome to Zechariah's Blast page!

We are joining Cook Children’s for our first The Blast, an annual walk to raise funds for pediatric cancer research and care. The Blast shows kids and their families affected by cancer that they’ll never walk alone on their journey. Their community is with them every step of the way!

After being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome at 5, Zechariah was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at the age 6. He went through  years of physical therapy, had multiple surgeries, rehab stays, and constant drives from Amarillo to Fort Worth for treatments, while having to learn to walk all over again. He completed 4 rounds of chemotherapy and got to ring his bell!! 

Since then, he's come along way and doing well!! He is now in 5th grade, plays sports, is in Honor Choir, StuCo at his school and thriving, all things that seemed so far away when sitting in the hospital during chemo/IVIg days. 

Every journey is different and unique, but the same in that we all need help and support. Help us reach Zechariah's goal of $1,000 to help families and kids currently writing their story.  

 Join our team to walk with us on Saturday, March 28 and to help us #blastawaycancer.
