A few weeks prior, Zach was diagnosed with Central Nervous System Leukemia, and after 8 years of survivorship, he would be facing his second battle with cancer before his high school years began. Looking at him in that hospital bed with tubes and wires surrounding him, I felt that my family and I had hit rock bottom.
