Three Little Heroes Win the War Against Childhood Cancer with Courage And Resilience

Megan, Jake & Annie, who bravely battled Childhood Cancer will be honored with a Parade prior to publicly ‘Ringing the Bell’ signifying the End-Of-Treatment.

NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, May 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — On Saturday May 4th the start of a new life for 3 young children who have beaten cancer will begin. After battling cancer for years, 10 Year old Megan Venus, 9 year old Jake Duenas, and 7 year old Annie Chavez, surrounded by family, friends and the community, will publicly ‘Ring The Bell’ signifying the End-Of-Treatment and the beginning of taking back their childhoods.

As one can imagine, a child finishing cancer treatment is such a joyous occasion and one that needs to be celebrated in the grandest way possible. The road to this day for each of them and their families has been very long, filled with pain, torturous treatments, anxiety, and of course, constant fear.

These children have all been a part of the Mystic Force Foundation Family throughout their years of treatment and the Foundation is beyond proud of them and so happy for them to continue their lives in as much normalcy as possible. They will still need to have routine scans and oncology checkups for years to come, but NO MORE CHEMO, radiation, surgeries, or harsh treatments! Instead, they will enjoy school, outdoor activities, sports, and new friendships made outside of the hospital.

Friends, family, police & fire departments from surrounding cities, SuperHeroes, and members of the community will partake in this joyous event by arriving in the Heroes Hangout east side parking lot at 12:30pm to decorate their vehicles prior to the Parade. At the time of departure, the North Miami Beach Police Department will lead all the vehicles to slowly drive past the Heroes Hangout where the children and their families will be excitedly watching. Participants will be able to wave to the children, honk their horns, and blare their sirens, to share their excitement and support for this amazing time in each of their lives. Participants will then park in the West side parking lot and proceed to the Hangout where they will emotionally watch as each child has their special moment to ‘Ring the Bell’ signifying the true end of treatment.

This will be the end of the public event and the families will then resume the celebration inside the Heroes Hangout.

The Mystic Force Foundation was founded in 2008 by Dr. Steven & Silvia Vanni after their then 4-year-old son, Salvatore, was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma Cancer. Salvatore lost his battle with cancer in 2011 but his legacy continues to change the lives of all children battling this devastating disease. This year is the Foundation’s 16-year Anniversary of raising awareness and desperately needed funds for Childhood Cancer Research, as well as advocacy in Washington, DC, granting ‘Wishes’, delivering toys, holding in-patient hospital parties, providing financial support to families in need, and bringing Hope, Joy, Happiness and Smiles to the littlest Heroes battling Childhood Cancer. This year also marks the 6 year Anniversary of the Foundation’s Heroes Hangout, a Childhood Cancer Haven located in North Miami Beach that supports children and their families battling cancer from all over the world that are treated in South Florida Hospitals. At the Heroes Hangout children battling cancer celebrate their birthdays, attend monthly themed events and celebrations, as well as celebrate every holiday together with other children going through the same thing they are in a safe and loving environment.
