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.

Team Hans September Fundraiser - The Carousel of Possible Dreams


It’s that time of year – September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness month.  As you know, this can be a rough month for me, Kevin and Elle.  Two years ago this month we lost Hans to his Neuroblastoma at age 9, after an almost 6 year battle.
 We are proud to be a part of a 30–day fundraising effort for Neuroblastoma, research, awareness and education – TheCarousel of Possible Dreams.   Please consider joining us in honoring Hans by making a donation this month.  Funds will be matched by a third party for up to $500,000!  We have set a goal for Team Hans of $5,000.  It will be our one big fundraising push of the year. 
Proceeds benefit both the NANT and the CNCF. Kevin and I work closely with both of these organizations.  Currently, Kevin and I serve as parent representatives for the NANT at both the regional and national levels. We have worked with the CNCF on fundraising and outreach efforts since 2007. We pour a little bit of our hearts and souls into the NANT and the CNCF so that the next cohort of kids faced with Hans’ diagnosis will have a shot a better/longer life, and so that families might find support and connection throughout treament.
 Thank you for following this link, and for your donation of any amount. It truly means the world to see your names in support.
