Support Noah's Battle Against Leukemia

On April 24, 2025, my world turned upside down when my 13-year-old son, Noah was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

Noah is not your average teenager. At 6’6”, he’s a towering presence on the basketball court with dreams of going pro—but it’s his heart, determination, and spirit that truly set him apart. Right now, he’s facing the hardest fight of his life: intense chemotherapy, hospital stays, and physical challenges no child should ever have to endure.

This first phase of treatment has been especially demanding. I’ve stepped into the role of Noah’s full-time caregiver, managing a daily schedule filled with chemotherapy, doctor visits, and medical care—all while helping him adjust to homeschooling so he can stay safe and continue learning. The first year of treatment is the most intense, but the full journey spans 2 to 3 years. We remain hopeful that as time goes on, Noah will regain his strength and return to chasing his basketball dreams.

In addition to the emotional weight, I’m navigating growing financial burdens: gas, groceries, and medical expenses.

Any support—whether it’s a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping Noah in your thoughts—means more than we can say. Your kindness allows us to focus on Noah’s healing and gives us strength when we need it most.

I’ll be sharing updates along the way, the highs, the lows, and everything in between to build a circle of support not just for Noah, but for other families walking this path too.

Thank you for being part of our team.

I will do my best to post weekly updates on Noah's Instagram @noahb_ballin
