Help offset medical and everyday expenses.

Hi my name is Derek Pierce and I will be raising funds to help offset the medical and everyday expenses for the Eschete family.

Childhood cancer... you never think it's gonna be your own child who has to go through this battle.

You see these St. Jude commercials and you heart squeezes and you feel so bad for these innocent lives that have to go through so much, so young.

A thought usually lingers in the back of your mind, a quiet fear you wish away but it stays one of your worst nightmares as a parent.

March 11th was just the beginning of that fear for us, it's a hell we can't seem to wake from.

From mass to tumor, to malignancy & cancer.

Words that we'll never unhear when they pulled us aside and told us the news.

Today was just a confirmation of what they were thinking all along.

Nephroblastoma cancer / wilms tumor.

Doctors said her survival rate is good but it can still be fatal. Shes going to have a big fight ahead of her. The chemo will be aggressive. It won't be pretty. Pet scans and further testing will be soon and starting 6 weeks of chemo.

Once the surgeons are comfortable with the size of the tumor they will go in and remove that & her kidney as well.

Once removal is successful, then will come radiation and more chemo therapy.

Life has taken us and shaken things completely upside down for his family.
