Colton Marquise is a 17-year-old junior at Fauquier High School in Northern Virginia. His life changed in a big way recently, and we are eager to help him and his family.
In February 2026, Colton was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. This is a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer. This tumor is located in his left arm, and he has already begun the long and difficult road of treatment.
Colton is full of life. He loves spending time with his friends, three siblings, and big cousin crew. Whether he is on the soccer field playing for Vista Blackwatch, throwing a football, shooting hoops, Colton is constantly moving, laughing, and bringing energy to everyone around him.
His treatment plan for the coming year is intense. Colton will undergo 10 weeks of chemotherapy with each cycle requiring a hospital admission at Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC. Around weeks 11-12, he will face limb sparing surgery. Following surgery, Colton will resume chemotherapy for an additional 22 weeks.
Throughout this fight, Colton is surrounded by a loving family. He has two younger brothers who look up to him and an older sister currently attending James Madison University. As you can imagine, the months ahead will be physically, emotionally, and financially challenging for them all.
Your donations will help ease the burden of medical expenses, travel for treatments, time away from work, and the many unexpected costs that come with a long cancer journey. Most importantly, this fundraiser is about showing Colton and his family that they are not alone. Every donation, share, and message of love helps move them forward in this fight.
Thank you for loving and standing with Colton.
