Caysen was 2½ years old when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on August 6, 2018. Caysen's baby sister was born on August 31, 2018, and so began the journey of helping our child survive cancer. Caysen endured 822 days of chemotherapy and completed treatment on November 5, 2020. He was the Nebraska Blood Cancer United honored hero for the Students of the Year campaign in March 2020, where the students raised over $90K. We are so thankful for Nebraska Blood Cancer United and their help with various vouchers over the years!
