Zoë Faye Young, born on October 22, 2011 was diagnosed with an aggressive
Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor on December 29, 2011. Zoë is being treated at
Children's Hospital Boston, and has her parents by her side at all times.
This year I am honoring an amazing little girl. Zoe Young is the niece of my best friend, Dan Joubert, and was only two months old when she was diagnosed with an aggressive Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor in her abdomen. She was taken to the hospital on Christmas Day 2011, and has been receiving chemotherapy and other treatments since then. In a few short weeks Zoe will be going in for surgery to get her tumor removed. This little girl gets her amazing strength and reslience from her mother Laura, who has not left her side and lived at the hospital with her for over a month, and her father Zeppo who had to work and make the commute from RI to Boston repeatedly. Zoe is one hell of a fighter and I feel honored to promote such a wonderful cause to help little children like her.
