Girolamo, 15 years old, NJ

Girolamo is an incredibly resilient and loving individual. From a young age, he demonstrated a special love for his father. When he learned about his father's cancer diagnosis, Girolamo dedicated himself to raising awareness about the disease and its impact on patients and their families. He organized a "Run for Cancer" event during his father's treatment, raising $2,500 for the Cancer Society. The town of Little Falls and the community supported him in achieving this goal. When his father passed away in October 2024, Girolamo remained strong for his younger sister and mother. Despite struggling with anxiety and attending support sessions, he excelled academically and in sports.
