Your Support Means So Much
These friends and family members helped us raise funds for childhood cancer research in honor of Noah! See the 2018-2024 list.
At 19 years of age Noah Shohet was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma. After enduring limb salvage surgery and many months of chemotherapy, he was able to return to college. However at 22 years old, 2 years after completing chemotherapy, routine scans revealed he had relapsed. Noah passed away on May 17, 2021, at the age of 25. His experience propelled his family to raise funds for Ewing sarcoma research so that a cure for this disease can be found.

The Story Behind This Hero Fund
Noah was away enjoying his freshman year at University of Michigan when he began having intermittent right knee pain. It was so minor he did not even mention it to his parents at first. Unfortunately, an x-ray done soon after showed an aggressive bone cancer confirmed as Ewing sarcoma following a biopsy. He endured limb salvage surgery and many months of chemotherapy and was completely well until routine scans revealed a relapse 2 years after completion of chemotherapy. He was determined to live life to the fullest and maintain his amazingly positive attitude while he endured more chemotherapy. Sadly, 5 years and 10 months from his initial diagnosis, Noah passed away.
While Ewing sarcoma is the second most common bone cancer, it is still very rare. It is diagnosed in only about 200 adolescents and young adults (AYA) every year in the United States. While the disease can be curable, many have extensive disease at the time of diagnosis or have a relapse after initial treatment which makes curative treatment much more difficult.
In the spring of 2025 we proudly partnered with four other Ewing sarcoma foundations to launch ACES – Advancing Cures for Ewing Sarcoma, a collaborative initiative dedicated to accelerating research and treatment. Together, we’ve committed $1.5 million to support Dr. Brian Ladle at Johns Hopkins University, whose groundbreaking work aims to advance immunotherapy for recurrent Ewing sarcoma and move it toward a Phase 1 clinical trial.
Dr. Ladle’s proposal was selected through a rigorous, nationwide review process and recognized as the most promising among top-tier researchers. As part of this effort, the Shohet Family Fund for Ewing Sarcoma Research has pledged $300,000 over the next three years to help drive this vital project forward.
Please consider making a gift and help make this life-saving treatment a reality.
