Happy 5 Years Cancer Free!

Today is a big day. Today Zippy Cimino is 5 years cancer free 💚💜 we may have celebrated from afar via FaceTime, but no doubt this day will forever be worth celebrating.

We hope each of our patients and their families can remember this picture and this smile on their darkest days. The fight isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. We’re rooting for you!!

Among the uncertainty in our world today, we are reminded yet again how very important our health is and always will be. Love and prayers being sent to everyone.

Sarahs Fight for Hope honors Dr. Halpern!

In late October, The Zippy Fund had the privilege of celebrating Dr. Steven Halpern as he was honored for his 40 years of dedication to pediatric cancer 💛 Hard to put into words what this man means to our family after he saved Zippy Cimino’s life twice. We are all forever grateful.

A pediatric cancer diagnosis is devastating to families and we will continue to do all we can to give back after all the blessings we have been given. Not a day goes by we don’t recognize how lucky we are.

Power of our Supporters!!

Last week, on April 30th, we shared some news with you that a young person The Zippy Fund previously supported was just given dire news after almost three years of battling Sarcoma.

We ran a 48 hour campaign to raise funds as the patients final request was to take a trip with their family to Hawaii.

We had an overwhelming response from our community. A very BIG thank you to everyone that contributed!

Due to the decline in health and intense amount of pain, doctors and their family decided it was best to not travel all the way to Hawaii, BUT did allow their family to go away together to Puerto Rico. They are there now enjoying much needed time away as a family.

We were able to contribute to make this trip happen and also will be providing additional funds to help this family during this difficult time. This is all thanks to our incredible community of supporters. THANK YOU!

We mean it when we say every $1 counts. We’re very grateful to each and every one of you 💚💜🙏🏼
