Fighter of the Quarter

Meet Savanna - Q3 2026

Words From Her Mom

Savanna's fight began long before we knew it was cancer. In June 2024, she started complaining of pain when brushing her teeth or yawning. Then came left-sided stomach pain, fevers that wouldn't break, and vomiting. Even with a family history of Wilms tumor, her symptoms were dismissed for months. In December 2024, we finally got an answer: Wilms tumor. She had her left kidney removed, went through chemotherapy and radiation, and became cancer-free. Then, in January 2026, we learned the cancer had come back, this time in her lung. I thought, "Not again."

Savanna found the strength to fight a second time. She went througth chemotherapy, then radiation, lost her hair again, and spent months away from the classroom and friends she loves. She has now finished radiation and is on her way to recovery. A frequent flyer, avid traveler, and little adventurer, she has never lost her love for life. For Savanna, walking back into her classroom and getting on another plane means freedom, recovery, and getting her childhood back.

Angel of the Quarter

Words From His Family

Jack was a smart, kind, beautiful little boy with a wonderful zest for life. He was a great big brother to Ryan, and he loved sports, animals, and especially fighter jets. When he was 4, he woke us up after his first T-ball game with a swollen, painful finger. Within days, doctors at Johns Hopkins diagnosed him with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and we were told he would need a bone marrow transplant to survive. Jack went through extensive chemotherapy and countless procedures, and received his transplant with marrow donated by his dad.

Through every step, he was incredibly brave, smiling through the pain and bringing joy to everyone around him. During the long months at Hopkins, we played baseball in the great room, raced Hot Wheels down the entrance ramp, and flew paper airplanes to the ground floor. He got to be a Pilot for a Day, practice with the Ravens, and swim with dolphins in Hawaii. Jack passed away at home, surrounded by his family, about a month before his 7th birthday. Life is forever changed, but we will always be grateful for the time we had with him. His resilience, bravery, and kindness inspire us every day.
