About Me

Bakersfield, CA, United States
Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

Kick Off Meeting for CHLA Neuroblastoma Family Group

I would like to let people know that, together with the NB Team at CHLA and the CNCF,  I am starting up a grassroots CHLA Neuroblastoma Family Group.  The idea is for families to come together for information, support, community, and to join forces in fighting back by supporting one another in fundraising efforts for research, education and awareness.


Kick Off Meeting!  CHLA-NB Family Group

•Neuroblastoma families (parents/caregivers, child, siblings) invited to attend
•Please join us for our Kick-Off Meeting! 
•Enjoy lunch and some social time
•Round table discussion on the direction of this new group for families of children with Neuroblastoma

Thursday Dec 19th
Anderson Pavilion
Family Lounge 4M
Noon – 2pm

Lunch will be provided courtesy of the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation
