In March 2025, my brave son Zion was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). What started as a few unexplained symptoms quickly turned into a whirlwind of hospital visits, tests, and treatments. Since that day, our lives have changed completely, but Zion’s strength and spirit have never wavered. Through every round of chemotherapy, every long hospital stay, and every difficult moment, Zion has continued to smile, laugh, and bring light to everyone around him. His courage reminds me daily that even the smallest warriors can fight the biggest battles. On August 22, 2025, doctors discovered a mass on his spine, and soon after an MRI showed that he could not move his legs. Following that, his care team requested 12 radiation treatments to help shrink the mass and support his recovery. It was heartbreaking news, but we know Zion’s story is far from over — it’s a story of faith, resilience, and hope. Zion continues to inspire his family, friends, and everyone he meets. We are so proud of his bravery and are hopeful for the day he beats cancer completely and gets to live the healthy, joyful life he deserves.
