BACKGROUND: Joshua Kahan was a normal two-year-old boy who loved
fire trucks, ice cream, cows and his family. In 1997,
Joshua was diagnosed with AML Leukemia, and five months
later he lost his courageous battle. In his memory,
his parents Jeff and Michelle created a fund to
perpetuate his name and fight to find a cure for
Pediatric leukemia.
Pediatric leukemia is the No. 1 disease killer of
children between the ages of 1 and 14 years old in
the United States. For more information about The
