Steps for Joe’s Cure Walk – Tomorrow, Saturday, June 28th Matawan High School Student needs your help! A walk for him will be held tomorrow at Matawan Regional High School in Aberdeen. On December 17th, 2013 Joseph was diagnosed with Stage IV Ewing’s Sarcoma – a rare and aggressive bone cancer that primarily affects children and adolescents – at which point he already had several growths attacking multiple parts of the body. At the start of his battle, we were seeing nearly instant results. He regained the weight he had lost due to the disease; his intense pain subsided; the tumors were rapidly shrinking; but most importantly, his spirits were high. Disappointingly, this peak was very short-lived. Not only has the unbearable pain since returned, but the disease has continued to spread with tumors encroaching the central nervous system, and he is now at risk of becoming paralyzed if untreated. If we do not act quickly there is a high chance of no survival. We are $40,000 short from our goal to get Joe the treatment that he needs. Joseph has been surrounded by an immense amount of love and support from his family and friends nevertheless the sad reality is that this alone is not enough for him to make it through. This walk is the best way to bring the community together to fight for the common goal of keeping this young man from having his life so unfairly shortened.
