Why I Relay I Relay for my beloved Zachary, our warrior forever. In 2018, at the age of 12, Zachary was diagnosed with leukemia. I remember asking the doctor at the time if it was treatable and would he be ok. The doctors were consistently optimistic. The first few days after diagnosis were brutal mentally and physically. He asked me why this was happening to him. My heart broke as I had no answers, but said I’d take his place if I could. Zachary came through his grueling treatment and was in remission. Unfortunately, about a year after he was considered in remission, things took a turn and he was diagnosed with a chemo induced secondary leukemia. So basically what was supposed to save his life took it. He passed away September 1, 2019, just 2 days before he was to start high school. In Zachary’s memory, through the ZACC ATTACK charity he created, we continue to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer so one day children and families won’t have to suffer from this horrific disease. Zachary would have graduated in June 2023 from Brewster High School and would have just finished his first year of college this year. We love and miss him every day. We miss the moments and milestones we’ll never have with him. We miss the future we’ll never share with him. We continue to fight in his memory and keep his mission of fighting childhood cancer alive through his charity ZACC ATTACK. Zachary, the bravest person I’ve ever known. In our hearts forever. |
