Meet Emanuel. Emanuel’s journey has been one of immense courage. After being diagnosed with osteosarcoma, he initially fought hard with chemotherapy and a successful bone marrow transplant. Sadly, the cancer returned, now affecting his muscles, soft tissues, and lungs. 

Determined to find the best treatment, his family sought alternatives far from home, leading them to Ronald McDonald House New York and Weill Cornell Medicine. Facing amputation as a necessary step in his fight, Emanuel and his family prepared with resilience, celebrating his strength and determination. 

On May 30, 2024, Emanuel underwent surgery, and just a week later, he was smiling again and motivated to conquer his battle against cancer. His story is a powerful reminder of hope and the support that makes a difference.

Help us raise awareness this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by sharing Emanuel’s story 

This September, we’re shining a spotlight on a brave superhero kid, Dimitris, and his incredible journey through childhood cancer. 

Dimitris’s story is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of kids. Despite the challenges of childhood cancer, Dimitris has shown immense courage and determination. His journey isn’t faced alone; the support of his loving family and the community around him plays a vital role in his fight.

At Ronald McDonald House New York, traditions like “Fight Cancer with Family” help families like Dimitris’s stay close and supported during these tough times. This moto underscores the importance of family and community in the battle against childhood cancer. 🏠💕

Join us in honoring Dimitris and all the brave kids battling cancer by spreading awareness and supporting organizations that provide critical support to families in need. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those who need it most.
