At the age of four, I was diagnosed with stage three Neuroblastoma, an aggressive pediatric cancer. My treatment journey took me between Richmond, Virginia, and New York, where I underwent chemotherapy, surgery, and countless hospital visits that became the backdrop of my childhood.

Surviving cancer at such a young age meant growing up with a different lens on life. I wasn’t just a kid—I was a patient, a fighter, a survivor. But survivorship didn’t mean the journey was over. I quickly learned that life after cancer came with its own set of challenges. The long-term effects of treatment, the unanswered questions about my health, and the need for ongoing care were things my family and I had to navigate largely on our own.

That experience is what led me to create Pathway—a company built to support childhood and young adult cancer survivors in their post-treatment journey. Too often, survivorship care is an afterthought, leaving patients without guidance on managing late effects, staying on top of their health, and finding a community that understands. Pathway is my way of ensuring that no survivor feels lost after treatment ends. We’re here to bridge that gap, providing support, resources, and technology to make survivorship easier and more accessible.

The ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation has been a tremendous support system for pediatric and AYA cancer survivors, providing essential resources, financial assistance, and community programs that make a real difference in their lives. That’s why we are so excited to be doing this fundraiser with them—to give back to an organization that has stood by so many families and to help ensure that every survivor gets the support they need.
