ABI & B.E.L.L. Play for Hallie at the Kids vs. Cancer Classic

Below is Hallie’s story:

Hallie was born with DBA, but she wasn't diagnosed until she was 13 months old. After they found it, they were able to control it with steroids and blood transfusions. If you looked at Hallie, you would have never known she was sick. But look at her blood, and you would know. The only cure for DBA is a bone marrow transplant.

While Hallie was searching, she knew she could also advocate for the many children who couldn't advocate for themselves because they were in the hospitals. That's why, at 6 years old, she started a non-profit to get as many people as possible to join the bone marrow registry. Hallie joined forces with fraternities, policemen, firemen, and many other groups to help advocate. 105 total matches were found via Hallies Heroes outreach.

After finding so many matches for others, it was Hallie's turn! She had a bone marrow transplant when she turned 10 years old-- that means she waited/searched over 9 years to find a match! Four months post-transplant, we found out that it was successful! That means she no longer has DBA!

Unfortunately, less than 1 month after hearing the news that the bone marrow transplant was successful, Hallie started feeling pain in her left leg. The doctors quickly found that the pain was caused by a cancer in her thigh bone.

This however, didn't get Hallie down. She knew that God wasn't done with her, and she had this because she needed to reach more people. Hallie expanded her mission to include advocating for children with cancers of all sorts!

Hallie made up her mind to beat cancer. To do this, she and her doctors decided to amputate her left leg. This rid her body of cancer! Hallie now continues the fight while inspiring so many people all over the world!

UPDATE: ABI was able to raise $7,100 for Hallie to get her first prosthetic

ABI & B.E.L.L Play for Shania and Estefania

ABI’s next event will benefit two sisters, Estefania Munoz and Shania Munoz. Both sisters were diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which is a mutation in the TP53 gene and a tumor suppressor gene. Due to this syndrome, both sisters are vulnerable to both malignant and benign tumors forming.

Estefania is 8 years old and also has Jacoben Syndrome. At the age of 3 in 2014, she was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of soft tissue. The cancer was found in her right upper back. Recently in August of 2017 at the age of 7, she was again diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma again in the same area. In August of 2018, she finished all treatment and had her port removed in January of 2019 putting her currently in remission.

Shania is 16 years old and at the age of 2, she was diagnosed also with Rhabdomysarcoma in her left upper back and had 1 rib removed in order to access the tumor. She finished her treatment at the age of 3 in 2006. In October 2018, two months after her sister finished her cancer treatments, Shania went in for her yearly MRI scan and the doctors found a new growth which appeared to be in the same previous cancer spot. On the 7th of November 2018, she had an operation in order to remove the new growth which resulted in having another rib removed and having a prosthetic rib put back in place. Six days later on the 13th of November 2018, Shania was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. Two days later on the 15th, she underwent surgery again to have a port placed to then begin chemotherapy treatments. Shania started chemotherapy on November 30th, 2018 and is expected to finish her chemo treatments in August of 2019.

All proceeds raised at ABI’s event for Shania and Estefania will go to them and their family to help with their medical expenses.

Update: ABI was able to raise over $7,000 to help Shania and Estefania!

ABI & Family Plays for Shad

ABI will be playing for a young man named Shad who is battling osteosarcoma and recently lost his leg to the disease. Shadrach "Boboy" Hesa is a sophomore at Keene High School. He is one amazing young man who is very much loved by his family, community and his Keene Family. During his freshman year he played on the Keene basketball and baseball teams. During summer workouts in 2016 Shad felt a ton of pain in his left knee. After being treated by the trainer and going to see a doctor they still couldn't figure out where the pain was coming from. Finally Shad and his family went to see a specialist. That's when Shad and his family discovered that he had Osteosarcoma Bone Cancer in his leg, and upon further evaluation found that it is also in his lungs. He is currently in the middle of a treatment plan that will take over 29 weeks. Throughout the process, the chemo and the fight, Shadrach has been nothing short of amazing. His strength, joy and faith in the Lord have made this journey a little easier on his friends and family. On January 10, 2017, Shadrach underwent surgery to remove his left leg above the knee in an effort to help stop the cancer from spreading. With his parents Jimmy and Nelina Hesa by his side through every moment of this journey, Shad is recovering well. Just a day after the operation Shad was up and moving around the hospital using a walker. Using a walker, crutches or a wheelchair is not how this story is going to end, though. Shad knows he is going to play basketball and baseball again.

ABI & Family Plays for Manny

ABI will be playing for a young woman named Manny. Manny lost her leg in June of 2004. With the current prosthesis she currently has, she has difficulty walking long distances and is not able to be as active as she would like to be as her current prosthesis feels like it is holding her back. Manny had the opportunity to try more active prosthesis for a trial period and immediately felt the benefits of the upgraded prosthesis. But the cost of the upgraded prosthesis is one her insurance will not help pay and cannot afford on her own. ABI has offered to help Manny raise the funds for the upgraded prosthesis that will allow her to walk longer distances without pain and will also allow her to be fit and health with her increase of activity with the upgraded prosthesis. The proceeds from this event will go towards Manny's upgraded prosthesis so she can have the opportunity to live life to the fullest and be abel to reach her goals. 

 

 

UPDATE: ABI was able to raise over $1,000 to help Manny with her prosthetic needs
