About The Mark Staehely Pediatric Cancer Foundation
On June 16, 2000 Mark was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Over the next six years he endured three surgeries, stem cell replacement, and endless rounds of chemo and radiation therapy, as well as countless blood and platelet transfusions, but spent every day making the most of the time he had, with his positive attitude being the driving force in his survival. After spending almost every holiday in the fall and winter of 2000 in the hospital, including Christmas, and being faced the sadness of those also hospitalized, he took it upon himself every Christmas after that to collect toys, movies, and video games and bring them to those hospitalized over the holidays.
