DISTANCE FOR DAX
We’re taking on the 4x4x48 challenge to support Dax and his family’s fight against cancer
Meet Dax
On Friday, July 19, 2019, Dax (Dax a Roo, Bug, Little Bug) had his routine, 9 month, well baby check-up. The nurse practitioner noticed something on his left side abdomen and immediately referred Dax to Scottish Rite for an X-Ray. This X-Ray showed a large mass taking up the whole left side of his abdominal area.
Dax was sent to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta-Scottish Rite for further test and evaluation where a CT scan showed a tumor and lesions on his liver. Dax was admitted to the AFLAC (cancer and blood disorders) floor at Scottish Rite.
