Support Zayne's Family in the loss of their beloved son.

November 20, 2023, was a day Nick and Megan Reis will forever remember as the day their sweet 2-year-old boy started his journey of battling cancer. Zayne was diagnosed with Pleuropulmonary Blastoma/DICER1. It started in his lung, and after chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery that removed half of his lung, he rang the bell on Oct 23rd, and we thought we were on the road to full recovery. Three weeks later, while visiting family in El Paso, TX, he started getting sick and was taken to El Paso Children's Hospital to get checked out, and doctors found a tumor in the right frontal lobe of his brain. He underwent emergency surgery in El Paso to remove the tumor as it was causing seizures. After about a week in the hospital in El Paso, they drove home, and the next day met with doctors at The James to get the treatment plan set for more radiation and chemo. Two weeks later, the tumor had already grown back and was growing fast! The hope was that chemo and radiation would shrink the tumor enough to get it away from important nerves and arteries, and with lots of prayers, it did, so he went in for his second surgery on Jan 16, 2025, and they were able to remove all of that tumor. Fifteen days later, another MRI showed that there were more tumors on his brain and it had moved into the cerebrospinal fluid. Doctors weren't optimistic and told the family to make memories, but we aren't giving up!!! Nick and Megan wanted to continue treatment as planned. He is currently going through intensive radiation and chemo to continue to fight this awful disease. A few days ago we were given another type of treatment to try so we are still seeing that God is working and we are staying firm in our faith and trusting God.

Zayne is now 4 years old, and through all of this, he has remained the sweet boy we all love. He loves Jesus and loves praise and worship time at church, at home, and in the car!! He has been a bright light for so many to see Jesus, and we give God all the praise and glory! Megan, Zayne's mom, is a stay-at-home mom, and Nick, Zayne's dad, is a firefighter with Madison Twp Fire Department. Zayne has a big sister, Avery, and a little sister, Hannah. We are creating this GoFundMe to help with expenses incurred during this journey.
