ZACH YOST
A little about Zach and the family first:
Zach is a 3 year old that was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer on Nov. 17,
2006, is is in stage 4 (out of 5), so needless to say the family has a tough
road ahead of them. Zach is also an identical twin and so far his brother
Dillon is healthy but Shane and Amber need to regularly monitor Dillon incase
anything creeps up.
Shane competes in the W.E.ROCK series for The Hillbilly Rock Krew, Shane has been competing for a few years now and absolutely LOVES the sport. He also runs HBRK4x4.com selling parts, so be sure to check them 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
