Support Keontae's Battle Against Cancer

Hello my name is Mariah Todd mother of Keontae “ snacks “ McKinnon my son was diagnosed with stage 4 group 4 Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma Sept 21, 2023

Rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive rare cancer from a formal growth of immature muscle cells. Keontae has several tumors on his ( brain , spine, and prostate). He started his Chemo and Radiation treatment on Friday September 29, 2023. He has gone through 48 weeks of chemo 5 weeks of radiation in the prostate / bladder area and 4 weeks of radiation on the brain . Unfortunately with one of the tumors weighing on his optic nerve Keontae has become visually impaired. Due to the illness me and his dad have limited availability to work we also have 2 more boys Keano (7) Keandre (6) & a daughter (6months ) that we still have to provide for.

This was so unexpected and so hard!!! As of August 27 , 2024 Keontae rang the bell . But due to a recent PET scan showing the tumor is still active Keontae may or may not have much longer.

If your unable to donate that’s perfectly fine , but if you could please share and also keep the family in thoughts and prayers!

Thank You Kindly

A note from mom and dad:

"We want to thank everyone for prayers; we will continue to need all the prayers possible.

Our world turned upside down with the unexpected news that our little boy, Keontae, was diagnosed with cancer at just 4yrs old. “Your child has cancer“ was of the most brutal and crushing words we have ever had to hear.

We have a challenging and long journey ahead of us. We have no idea what our future will look like, but I know we are fighters, and that’s what we will do.

Please continue to pray for our sweet little boy. #KeontaeStrong!
