Ryan "Rhino" Pefinis, who turns 1 on April 3, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma after a tumor was spotted during a scan for GI issues and subsequently removed. We are waiting on the PET scan and biopsy for more results on the length and cost of Ryan's fight, but for now, Steph and Steve have started receiving bills for the past month of tests and procedures.

Friends are asking how they can help and have offered to send money for medical bills. Since the family is very overwhelmed right now with this new reality, I offered to help them navigate this small part of Ryan's fight.

This is a devastating reality for this sweet couple, and they appreciate all the support during this terribly difficult time. Any funds that remain in this account after Ryan kicks cancer's ass will go to another person who is struggling with medical bills. Thank you! #RhinoStrong

Warmly,
Emily Thompson Lockley
Steph's friend since 6th grade
