J.B, cancer fighter

Jamie Shook, J.B., & R.J. Shook

Nathan (2013-2022)

Meet J.B.

Nine-and-a-half-year-old J.B. is facing one of the deadliest forms of cancer: a very high-risk relapsed Wilms' tumor.

Kids with this type of kidney cancer face a 10-20% chance of survival. If J.B.'s cancer returns, he will need a treatment that does not exist for kids today.

Thanks to the SHOOK community, kids with very high-risk relapsed Wilms' tumor will have hope of being cured with a new treatment in clinical trial. This is a potentially lifesaving therapy, and we’ll make sure it’s safe and available to children who need it.

In Remembrance of Nathan – Forever Eight

Wilms’ tumor took 8-year-old Nathan’s life in January 2022, after a grueling 6-year battle against the disease.

“If we close our eyes to it, nothing will change. Children are dying, families are broken, futures are lost. We want our children to grow up and we cannot do it alone.” – Nathan’s mom, Tricia
