Supporting the Cause
This event is sponsored by Team Zola. All proceeds will be donated to the families of Zola, Chance, Carter, Morgan and Jaxson.

Zola, 1, was diagnosed with Stage 4 hepatoblastoma. A VERY RARE cancer, Hepatoblastoma occurs in 1.6 of every 1,000,000 children a year. There are only 50-70 new cases a year in the U.S. This cancer makes up approximately 1% of ALL pediatric cancers. On June 24, 2013, Zola received a lung transplant at St. Louis Children's Hospital. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Arkansas Children's Hospital. https://www.facebook.com/teamzola

Jaxson Robertson, 4, was also diagnosed with Stage 4 hepatoblastoma. Jaxson also had a liver transplant at St. Louis and is receiving chemotherapy treatments at Arkansas Children's Hospital. https://www.facebook.com/HelpTheRobertsonFamily

Chance Storz, recently had a relapse. His current diagnosis is Stage 2 hepatoblastoma. https://www.facebook.com/PrayersForChanceStorz

Carter Nuckols, 4, was diagnosed with an inoperable malignant brain tumor. Carter is currently undergoing treatment through UAMS and the Arkansas Childrens Hospital.

Funds will help relieve the burden of medical bills and travel expenses for these four wonderful families.
