The Incredible Ace

in Testimonials

on November 9, 2021

Play Pause Unmute Mute

Ace and family would like to thank John Shapiro’s Superheroes for the amazing donation.

Ace was diagnosed with infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 7 months in May 2021 and has been undergoing treatment over the past six months at CHOP. After 2 rounds of chemo, Ace achieved remission, but unfortunately relapsed after only a few weeks. On October 19th Ace was able to get his CART cells and the fight continues.

There are no words to express how hard it is to see your child have to fight such an aggressive disease, at times you feel so helpless. It is uplifting to receive so many kind words and gestures from family, friends, and the community. John Shapiro is an inspiration and we are so grateful to his superheroes for the generous donation. Here’s our superhero.

Thank you so much.
With love,

The Penson family
