Jackson F.Follow
Location: Seattle, WA, US Age: 8
In September of 2005 Jackson was diagnosed with Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor of the Kidney (RTK). Between surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, his body took a severe beating during the six months of aggressive treatment.
Fast forward 6 years and Jackson is cancer-free. He is one of the lucky 20% and has officially beat RTK. His victory was not without costs. The treatment damaged his heart and kidney and left life-threatening scar tissue on his intestines. Despite it all Jackson is well-adjusted and by all outward signs appears like a normal Lego-loving 7 year old boy.
A BIG thanks to all that support St. Baldrick's. We know that less toxic treatments and cure for childhood cancer are within reach. With your help that day will come!
