Noah is Virginia's 2019 Honored Hero.

Noah was diagnosed with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia on May 11, 2016, and will be in active treatment until September of 2019.  Over the course of the past two-and-a-half years, he has had many hospitals stays, blood transfusions, platelet transfusions, and weekly visits to clinic.  Today, Noah is a smiling 5th grader, spending more days in school than out and playing baseball and basketball when he is well enough to do so.  He takes a daily chemotherapy medication and still has frequent clinic visits, but he is getting better and staying positive.
