Zachery's Inspiring Journey of Strength, Smiles, and Hope

Childhood Cancer Hero Zachary

Zachery was just six years old when his world changed forever. On December 26, 2022, after weeks of pain, fatigue, and unanswered questions, he was finally diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The days that followed were filled with fear, hospital stays, and countless treatments. Yet through it all, Zachery never lost his ability to smile — a smile that continues to inspire everyone who meets him. 

Now at age nine, Zachery is in remission. His journey has taught him, and all of us, powerful lessons about life, love, and perseverance. 

In Zachery’s Own Words 

1. "I love to play video games, football, being outside, and cooking with my mom." 

2. "I want to be a firefighter when I grow up." 

3. "Being with my family makes me happy — we love playing Uno and eating together." 

4. "I love to help around the house. Yesterday I mopped and vacuumed for my mom!" 

5. "I will never forget my Make-A-Wish trip to Hawaii!" 

6. "Try to find something positive and surround yourself with the ones you love, one day at a time." 

7. "Be kind and love one another. If we could spread love like hate, the world would be great." 

8. "It’s hard on the whole family, even after treatment is done."
