Meet #TKCMVP Angelique! Angie, as she’s affectionately known, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in January 2024. After more than two years of treatment, Angie recently rang the bell at K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital!Angie is known for her grace, her unstoppable determination and her beautiful smile, all of which helped her persevere through 856 days of treatment. She also had incredible support from her parents and her older brother. Now that Angie is finished with cancer treatments, she cannot wait to get back to the things she loves most — cooking with her family, dancing, bike-riding with friends and playing with Queen, her beloved pet chicken! We are so proud of Angelique and her perseverance! Her celebration of ringing the bell to signify the end of treatment is the perfect example of the #TKCMilestones we love to celebrate. With the support of donors like you, we can continue to give back these precious life moments to our TKC MVPs. #TKCMilestones by @tacklekidscancer

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be running the NYC Marathon this year with Team Tackle Kids Cancer! 🏃🏼‍♀️🗽This will be my second time running the marathon. I ran it back in 2018, made it to mile 17, injured my knee, and spent the rest of the race wondering if I’d actually make it to the finish line. Somehow, I did. 😂I’m excited to come back stronger this time around.Running is such an important part of my life. It’s how I work through whatever life happens to be throwing at me, clear my head, and prepare for the day. My morning run (usually with my dogs!) is one of my favorite parts of the day, and it’s something I recommend to moms all the time. You don’t have to be fast or run far, just getting outside and moving can make a huge difference.I’m honored to be running with Team Tackle Kids Cancer, which supports pediatric cancer research and care for children and families facing cancer.Follow along as I train over the next few months, share the highs, lows, long runs, and hopefully make it to the finish line a little more gracefully this time. 😅And if you’re running NYC this year too, let me know! Maybe we can get a long run in together (ps. I’m slow 😂)Let’s do this 💪🏼👏🏃🏻‍♀️@tacklekidscancer #themonmouthmoms #nycmarathon by @tacklekidscancer

On #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay, we celebrate all of the milestones our Tackle Kids Cancer MVPs (Most Valiant Patients) achieve thanks to the generous support of donors like you. From ringing the bell to signify the end of treatment to celebrating birthdays and graduations, your contributions help ensure our MVPs experience these precious life moments. #TKCMVP Darius's story is a powerful testament to the resilience we celebrate today.At 17, Darius was a typical high school senior, busy with college applications and rehearsals for his school musical.As Thanksgiving 2023 approached, what seemed like exhaustion led to an emergency room visit that changed everything. Darius was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). "I remember thinking, ‘this is the end of my childhood,’" he said. "But I also knew I was going to get through this.”From the beginning, the team at Jersey Shore University Medical Center provided expert and compassionate care. Music became Darius's escape. Funding from Tackle Kids Cancer made special moments possible, like when a music therapist surprised him by playing his favorite songs on her violin during a chemotherapy session.Through it all, Darius persevered. He made it to his prom and walked at his high school graduation. "It wasn’t easy,” he said. “But those moments mattered. They reminded me that cancer didn’t take everything.”Now 19, Darius rang the bell to signify finishing treatment and is a student at Seton Hall University. He is studying nursing, inspired by the nurses who cared for him. His mother, Tara, emphasizes the impact of support from programs like Tackle Kids Cancer. “You’re not just giving money. You’re giving a parent the ability to sit beside their child, to hold their hand. You’re giving a family hope.”Read more about Darius's journey at our link in bio.#hmhnewjersey #tacklekidscancer #NCSD #NCSD2026 by @tacklekidscancer
