Ryan’s Grand Slam Against Leukemia

Created August 27th, 2024

On August 23, 2024, the lives of the Scarry family changed in an instant. Their beloved son, Ryan Scarry, was diagnosed with leukemia. At such a young age, Ryan is facing a challenge that no child should ever have to endure, but if there’s one thing everyone knows about Ryan, it’s that he’s a fighter.

Ryan is a remarkable young boy. He’s funny, energetic, and always respectful—a kid who brightens up every room he enters. He loves playing baseball and football, riding bikes, and spending hours playing wiffle ball with his friends. Whether he’s on the field or hanging out in the backyard, Ryan’s love for sports and his boundless energy have always been a big part of who he is.

Now, as Ryan begins the toughest game of his life, he needs our help. His parents, Michael and Jessica, along with his brother Michael and sister Sienna, are standing by his side, but they can’t do it alone. The medical bills, travel expenses, and the financial strain of this unexpected journey are overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

We’re asking everyone who knows and loves Ryan—or who is simply touched by his story—to join us in supporting the Scarry family. Our goal is to give them the financial stability they need so that they can focus entirely on what matters most: Ryan’s health and happiness.

Your donation, no matter the size, will make a tremendous difference. It will help cover medical expenses, provide for the family’s needs during this difficult time, and ensure that Ryan has the best possible care as he fights this battle. Most importantly, it will remind Ryan and his family that they are not alone in this fight.

Ryan has always been the kid who gives his all—whether he’s pitching a perfect game or just being a good friend. Now it’s our turn to give back to him. Let’s rally together and show Ryan that he has a whole team behind him, cheering him on every step of the way.

Thank you for your support, love, and prayers. Together, we can help Ryan hit leukemia out of the park.
