#RallyKid Noa
Rally Kid Noa's Story
At 16 months old, Noa, lovingly known as “Mako Bean” was diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. What started as whirlwind with a nearly comatose toddler, 7 blood transfusions and a PICU stay has become an almost two year journey of being a cancer family.
Noa has never let cancer stop her from living her little life to the fullest. She is loved by everyone who meets her, and she has a thirst for adventure that keeps us on her toes. She is an avid lover of sharks, and all things aquatic (except for dolphins, and we don’t know why.) There has never been a book or a piece of broccoli that Noa doesn’t like. She is vivacious at her core, and we are in awe of the spirit and grace that has carried her through her treatment plan.
When Noa was first diagnosed, her mom coined the phrase “See a shark, say a prayer”, and it has become our rally cry as we continue to push through the ups and downs cancer has and we race towards the finish line of her ringing the bell in September 2026.

Fundraise in Honor of Noa
Every day, kids are diagnosed with cancers that still have no cure — and treatments that haven’t changed in decades. Rally steps in where traditional funding often doesn’t, providing philanthropic seed funding for bold, early-stage research with the greatest potential to save lives.
Join us and help fund the future by backing breakthrough science because kids fighting cancer can’t wait. Their futures depend on more than hope. They depend on action.
