Meet Miss Zoe Cadence Walenius
Cancer survivor
OMS fighter
Zoe Cadence means "Rhythm of Life." Zoe is battling a rare auto-immune disease, Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS), that was caused by Neuroblastoma cancer. Although her prognosis is good, she is constantly suffering from symptoms of the disease and side effects of the treatments. She receives treatment every day and has infusions once a week. She is fed through a Mic-Key button feeding tube. Previously she got her medicine through a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter) however, after several times of nearly losing her to severe blood infections we opted to remove all central lines. Zoe has reached a point where we have to get more agressive with her treatments. She is an amazing little girl that has endured great suffering and pain. She has a beaming personality and an infectious smile. Please keep little Zoe in your prayers.

TEAM RHYTHM OF LIFE is "Running for Zoe." Zoe is an amazing four year old that was born with one of the rarest diseases in the world, Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS). OMS is a neurological auto-immune disease that resulted from Neuroblastoma Cancer. So far, there is not a cure for OMS, only the possibility of a neurological remission with powerful treatments. Unfortunately, relapses are extremely common. The Rhythm of Life Foundation is raising money for medical care, research and awareness of this terrible disease
.
As we grow, we plan to expand our financial support to other families with children that suffer from this dreadful disease. The foundation will be joining forces with runners across the country to acheive our fundraising and awareness goals, while experiencing a competitive athletic acheivement that contributes to the runners own physical health and self discipline.
The Rhythm of Life is a project of The Noblemen
We are very grateful to Al Midgett, founder,
and The Noblemen for their support!
