  • A miracle and a reason to fight

    Zack got delivered a phone call which shifted his life completely. A cancer diagnosis and an urgent medical who team who wanted to get the chemotherapy started.

    At such a young age that meant the conversation centered around Zack and his partner Tessa talking about Zack freezing his sperm because the chemotherapy would rule out any chance to fall pregnant naturally.
    A small window of time before the therapy started proved to be enough time for Tessa to fall pregnant naturally and the news was delivered to Zack that he was going to be a father during his battle with cancer. It gave Zack a reason to fight on those tough days.
