My Story

Ulrich was born with Neuroblastoma a tumor forming childhood cancer that affects immature nerve cells. He was diagnosed with a stage 4 MYNC amplified making his condition at high risk for relapse and a cure not likely. Forever 10 years old he fought for his life since the day he was born. He received numerous chemotherapy treatments, surgeries, radiations treatments, immunotherapy treatments and clinical trials yet his cancer kept coming back despite achieving no evidence of disease and remaining clear for 1 to 2 years at a time. Ulrich also suffered multiple bowel obstructions due to side effects from treatments. Ulrich had to travel far from home to receive such treatments and ensure the best chances of fighting this disease.

From his very first days, Ulrich showed us what true bravery looks like. Through countless treatments, hospital stays, and challenges that no child should ever face, he never lost his spirit or his beautiful smile, even up to the day his body decided it had enough. His determination to catch them all mirrored the incredible courage he showed every single day of his life. He taught us that heroes come in all sizes, and that strength isn’t measured by years, but by the love and bravery you bring to each moment.

He was our warrior, our joy, and our inspiration. & now our angel

We love you, Ulrich. Always.
