Noah's story
Noah was a straight-A student who loved school. But shortly after starting 5th grade, his grades suddenly tanked. His handwriting changed; his vision blurred.
In January 2025, Noah was diagnosed with CNS neuroblastoma, a type of cancerous brain tumor.
I knew in that moment everything was about to change drastically. I didn't know how much.

Noah’s oncologist referred him to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. At St. Jude, his treatment included chemotherapy, additional tumor resection surgery and proton radiotherapy. Importantly, it also included physical, occupational and other supportive therapies. Noah has life-changing vision loss as a result of his cancer.
The care at St. Jude has been phenomenal. He loves his care team. He thinks they're the best.

Noah also loves the St. Jude school, especially the STEM lab. He loves 3D printing in the St. Jude Family Commons makerspace. “He’s into so many different things,” said Jessica.
