Ryker's Story

At just 3 years old, Ryker's world was shaken after being diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). What first seemed like bruising from climbing on trees in the yard, turned into a fight against cancer. Now a year later, this sweet, courageous boy continues treatment at Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida. Rykersaurus," as he's nicknamed, is counting on YOU to help show children battling cancer they are not alone with your support of Barbara's Friends — Golisano Children's Hospital's cancer fund. Donations make a difference in a variety of ways. From providing gas money for trips to and from the hospital to providing home chemotherapy medication when insurance won't cover the cost.
