Noah's Cancer Fund

My brother, Noah, was diagnosed with APL Leukemia in early November. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is an aggressive type of acute myeloid leukemia in which there are too many immature blood-forming cells in the blood and blood marrow. These cause the shortage of red and white blood cells as well as platelets. Noah’s symptoms appeared suddenly and without warning. It has disrupted our lives and left us all in shock. Our family bond is very strong and we are prepared for whatever is thrown at us. Noah is a very healthy individual and would be the last person I would expect to be diagnosed with cancer. However, cancer doesn’t care how healthy you are. For me, hearing your older brother who has been by your side since you were born is suffering from a disease like this, it breaks my heart. He is my role model, my best friend, my mentor, and most importantly my family. Noah has always been there when I needed him. He has always been there when anyone has needed him. He is such a bright individual, making everyone he knows laugh and enjoy life no matter the circumstance. Now it is time for us to give back that love and caring. Insurance will likely not cover all of the costs of my brother’s treatment, travel expenses back and forth to Dartmouth, loss of work, etc. I’ve started this fund to hopefully help with some of those costs for my family.
