About Chris Falzone

Chris Falzone, a 14 year old from Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey was doing what he loves most - playing hockey - when his hip started bothering him. What was first thought of as usual growing pains and overuse, since he was playing for the Red Bank Generals and Middletown South High School JV and Varsity, turned into something much more. Chris was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Mature B Cell Lymphoma, a bone cancer, and will need months of chemo and surgery to heal. Chris was very fortunate that it was found so early and his prognosis for a full recovery is promising.

The Falzone family has incurred significant out-of-pocket medical expenses as the road to recovery is long, the expenses are high, and the insurance has its limits. Through various fundraising efforts, Friends of Chris has raised almost half of their $50,000 goal to help Chris and his family be able to focus solely on his health rather than the overwhelming financial burden of medical expenses.

Please help to further the cause by joining Chris, his family and friends for “Laugh 4 a Cause”.
