Blast walk round 4!! Here Team Mighty Makenzie comes! 

Makenzie was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Langerhans cell Histiocytosis in April of 2021. Since receiving her diagnosis she has come such a long way! She has gone through chemo, 11 surgeries, a few neck braces, wearing a HALO for 7 months, wound care, physical therapy, countless appointments and days spent at the hospital... but has had clean scans since 2022!! 

So much is unknown about her type of cancer and it is so rare that there is little funding for research.. There is no cure.. She currently takes a daily chemo pill in order to keep the LCH at bay until science catches up and figures out a better solution. 

The Blast walk is amazing because it raises money for children at Cook Childrens like Makenzie and funds research, clinical trials, family support and gets us one step closer to finding a cure!

The last three years Makenzie has raised almost $40,000 for Cook Childrens at the Blast walk. We are so thankful for our Village and Cannot wait to see you all out there again March 29th 2025. 

We had over 100 team members last year! Can we reach that 100 mark again this year? 

Thank you all for everything. We love and appreciate each and every one of you!
