Lacey Kids For A Cure Raising Funds For Boy Battling Cancer

LACEY, NJ — Jesse Wall loves being a Boy Scout, paddle boarding, assisting at Surf Unlimited on LBI and animals. After a nice swim with cousins, he began facing a significant challenge.

His mother, Cheyenne, noticed a large mass protruding from his stomach several weeks ago. Jesse was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma — a Stage 2 cancer putting him at intermediate risk — according to Lacey Kids for a Cure.

Lacey Kids for a Cure is putting on an "emergency" lemonade stand for Jesse, 12, from noon to 3 p.m. June 30 at the Lacey High School parking lot. The foundation features children ages 5-18 learning to positively influence the community.

The foundation is seeking donations of all kinds to help Jesse and his mother, including gas cards, gift cards, groceries and any other monetary assistance.

You can also support Jesse and Cheyenne through a GoFundMe that assists with costs such as treatment, insurance premiums and letting Cheyenne constantly be with her son.
