Dom, aka "The Dominator," faced pediatric cancer with courage. Diagnosed at 5, he battled a low-grade Glioma. After an initial surgery, chemo, and a positive outlook, a second surgery in November 2008 left him partially paralyzed. To continue radiation without anesthesia hindering therapy, his mother and nurses created a superhero, "The Dominator." Through daily practice, Dom mastered lying still for treatments, impressing doctors.

Despite challenges, Dom smiled through post-surgery life. In June 2009, the tumor returned. Steroids caused weight gain, fatigue, and loss of mobility. On September 17, 2009, at age 7, Dom slipped into a coma and earned his angel wings on November 13, 2009.

Dom's story emphasizes the need for awareness and funding, with cancer being the leading cause of death among US children. Every dollar contributes to the fight against children's cancer, reinforcing the belief that together, we can make a difference.

On May 5th, Dominic's beloved Uncle, Michael Strazzire, will be shaving his hair off as donating it to Wigs for Kids as we celebrate Dominic's life. This celebration will include a 50/50 raffle, a Chinese Auction and more! Whether you are able to attend, or not, please consider making a gift and help us reach our goal of raising $10,000.

Your gift helps Nemours provide unsurpassed care, pioneer new treatments and find life-saving cures for children. Because of you, families can take comfort in the promise of a healthier future.

Please make a donation today to honor Dominic's life and to make a difference in children's lives now—and for lifetimes to come.
