Zach was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (a rare bone cancer) in his left leg, in May of 2025.

What started as an ongoing knee pain and a routine visit to urgent care, quickly turned into an unexpected and life-changing diagnosis. After weeks of testing and the ultimate confirmation of his prognosis, he was subject to undergo a very aggressive treatment plan - this has consisted of countless hours of chemotherapy, lengthy hospital stays, and the necessary medications needed throughout.

He will continue on this plan until at least October (bearing no delays or changes in plan) - and once he cleared from this stage, he will then require a major surgery, where the femur bone in the leg will be removed entirely and replaced with a prosthetic. The surgery itself, as well as the physical therapy and required healing time to follow, are expected to be an intense process, to say the least.

At the point of the discovery and initiation of his treatments, Zach was immediately placed on forced medical leave from his job. He has been fortunate enough to receive partial-payment disability benefits from his employer - but even with the allotted benefits, his medical bills continue to increase and his basic living expenses are proving to be more and more difficult to manage.

Any and all funds donated will go directly to Zach - in order to assist with medical bills and cost of living expenses for the duration that he will continue to be out of work and without full pay. Our goal is to allow Zach to focus on his healing and wellbeing, without the burden of finances and security weighing him down. Any support that you can show to help us towards this goal would be appreciated immensely. Even if you are unable to contribute a monetary donation, we ask that you take a moment to simply share this post, so that we can spread awareness and encouragement for Zach during the difficult times ahead. Thank you all!
