4x4oil FUNDRAISER FOR ZACH YOST

We raised over $6,200

Well it has been a while since we had a big fundraiser for little Zach Yost so I thought it was time to blow it out again!!!

A little about Zach first:

Zach is a 3 1/2 year old that was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer on Nov. 17, 2006, in stage 4 (out of 5), so needless to say the family has a tough road ahead of them.

I have been working with the family since about this time last year helping organize fundraisers and simply trying to do what I can to help out.

A little about the cancer:

Neuroblastoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in nerve tissue of the adrenal gland, neck, chest, or spinal cord. Neuroblastoma often begins in the nerve tissue of the adrenal glands. There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney in the back of the upper abdomen. The adrenal glands produce important hormones that help control heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and the way the body reacts to stress. Neuroblastoma may also begin in the chest, in nerve tissue near the spine in the neck, or in the spinal cord. Neuroblastoma most often begins during early childhood, usually in children younger than 5 years. It sometimes forms before birth but is usually found later, when the tumor begins to grow and cause symptoms. In rare cases, neuroblastoma may be found before birth by fetal ultrasound. By the time neuroblastoma is diagnosed, the cancer has usually metastasized (spread), most often to the lymph nodes, bones, bone marrow, liver, and skin
