My Story

Josh is the definition of a true hero.  He was diagnosed at age 9 with stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma.  He will  be celebrating his 15th year of being cancer free!!!!  He uses his survival story to inspire others to NEVER give up.  Josh enjoys ever day as a celebration of new hope with his gorgeous wife Grace.  Yes that’s right, one of the first Baltimore honor kids got married !!!   He is also a successful quality manager at H&S Bakery in downtown Baltimore.  Josh continues to pray for those who have earned their angel wings. His faith and spirit carried him through the fight of his life.  He beat the odds and wants others to remember the fight is never over!  Without donations to organizations like St. Baldrick's, children will continue to struggle to fight not only the disease of cancer, but the long term side effects that can affect children into adulthood.  We must spread the word, raise funds, and find better treatments to help our children survive and live full lives.
