Thank you for visiting this page to honor the memory of Helen Wall, who passed on February 8 2021, at the age of 78, due to COVID.
When Helen entered the hospital once she realized what she was there for and that she had COVID, the next thing that she asked her son was "How's Zachary?" Zachary is starting his battle with metastatic osteosarcoma and was in his first chemotherapy treatment when she passed.
She would want us to move forward here and work to ensure that Zachary and future patients had every possible resource to fight and win against cancer, and especially against osteosarcoma.
Dana-Farber is home to the Jimmy Fund Clinic where Zachary is receiving his cancer treatment. Note that all donations will be directed toward osteosarcoma. The best way to support Dana-Farber is to give to the Jimmy Fund.
Dana-Farber provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults and is home to groundbreaking cancer discoveries. Since its founding in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of community efforts to advance Dana-Farber’s mission.
