Thunder Pageant Nate & Annie: Team Tytan
Donation protected
Hi!
Our names our Annie Maskill and Nate Peterson, and we are a part of the Thunder Pageant at Summit High School in Bend, Oregon. We, along with 9 other Senior partners, have been selected to raise money for our school’s Sparrow, Tytan, for the majority of the school year.
Sparrow is an organization that works towards providing financial and emotional support for children and their families in medical need. The Sparrow Club’s goal is to teach life lessons in compassion and selflessness through building relationships between a Sparrow family, a school student body, and the community.
Tytan is 11 years old and this past June (2019) he began experiencing pain in his upper left leg. His parents thought it was just growing pains. They noticed a bump on his left leg that increased in size overnight, and decided to take him to the doctor, where tests were run and Tytan was diagnosed with CIC-DUX rearranged sarcoma. This is a very rare form of cancer and the doctors said they were lucky to discover it so early.
This type of cancer is so rare that there isn’t much information on it yet or results from studies or treatments. Tytan is now in the middle of 15 rounds of chemo in Portland, equaling 31 weeks, then he will need to do 5 to 7 weeks of radiation in Seattle. Tytan will need a drug called Neulasta after each round of chemo, which costs $2,000 each time and is not covered by insurance.
Tytan and his family are taking one day at a time, trying to stay positive, and hoping for the best. Tytan is an inspiration and fun to be around, a leader among his friends, and is outgoing and confident. He loves football and computer games, and also loves to play pranks on his little sister!
Any contribution would help, and your support would mean so much to us, Tytan, and his family.
