Help Dylan STRIKE OUT CANCER for good!
Dylan was diagnosed in 2017 with Ewings Sarcoma, he spent all of 2017 in and out of Lurie Children's hospital with surgery & chemo and completed his treatment at the end of 2017. Dylan has had No Evidence of Disease for over 3 years until scans in July 2020 showed a mass in his lungs. Surgery was done to remove the mass but unfortunately after an agonizing wait the results confirmed that Ewings was back.
These are the early days but nothing is being left off the table for this round, the Provenzanos are planning on exploring second opinions out of state. The tentative treatment plan will require them to go to Lurie's Children's Hospital in the city very frequently and they only have 1 car which Adam uses to go to work. Pre-covid times the family relied on Uber but that will not work for an immunocompromised Dylan.
If you have ever had any interaction with Sam (Dylan's mother), you know that she will give you the shirt off of her back. There is never a fundraiser that she has shied away from, raising SO much for SO many. She will never ask for help but now it's time for us to show the same generosity that she has shown to SO many. If you know Dylan you know that he follows his mother's footsteps closely and is also the kindest 15.5 (that half is important) year old you will run into.
All Dylan wants to do is play baseball and he should be able to, this is absolutely not fair that he has to endure this again. But we know that D is in "beast-mode" and will tackle this beast all over again.
This fundraiser is going through the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation with every penny raised going to the Provenzano family. The hope here is for us to help with the financial piece so the family can focus on healing Dylan.
