“Marsha”

The Leigh Sakoda Foundation celebrated Father’s Day by making a very important grant to a 26 year old woman diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a neuroendocrine cancer rarely found in young adults. She is undergoing several forms of treatment but suffered many relapses and faces a long road of therapy ahead. She is commuting from North Carolina to Philadelphia to get treatment and had to drop out of college and work part time to help pay for her care. She is currently living alone.
