Zachary was diagnosed in May 2016 after having pain in his leg that caused him to limp. His treatment now includes 3-week cycles of chemotherapy. At home, his cycles include 5 days of steroids14 days of chemo, and 2 Visiting Nurse Association visits for chemo through his port. Zachary has spent countless hours in the hospital watching Red Sox games. Instead of watching cartoons, he would tune in to watch the recaps of the previous night games during the day when they weren't playing. Because of the Jimmy Fund Clinic, Zachary got to see his first baseball game last summer and it was wonderful. He has such a love for the Red Sox and Wally. Zachary loves sports, and has an older brother Ryan and a younger sister, Emma.
