Our 14th Annual Victoria Rose Fund Benefit, “Team Maisy,” will be on October 24 from 2-5pm at Aston Barnaby’s, where we will honor and fundraise for an incredibly brave 4-year-old girl, Maisy Geyer of Havertown, PA, who is battling B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), a rare and fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. We call her Marvelous Maisy. 💜 Even though much of Maisy’s childhood is spent in treatment instead of doing what most kids her age does, her bright smile continues to light up every room she enters. She loves all things princesses, enjoys preschool at St. Dorothy’s, and is happiest playing and making memories with her cousins, 6-year-old sister, 2-year-old brother, and newborn baby brother. Last November, Maisy's parents became concerned after she developed a persistent limp and a bump on her head that wouldn't go away. After bloodwork and imaging, she was urgently referred to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where days later she was diagnosed with B-ALL. After her bloodwork revealed low blood counts, Maisy was referred to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for further evaluation. At CHOP, doctors conducted additional testing, including new X-rays that revealed an abnormality in her left leg consistent with cancer involvement. On December 7, 2025, Maisy was diagnosed with B-ALL. Since her diagnosis, Maisy has already endured numerous lumbar punctures, weekly chemotherapy treatments, and immunotherapy with Blina, administered through a continuous intravenous infusion. Because she has not responded well to several treatment protocols, her medical team has had to adjust her chemotherapy regimen multiple times. Approximately five treatment cycles into her journey, Maisy still faces a lengthy road ahead. Her treatment plan at CHOP is expected to continue for another two years and will include additional chemotherapy, lumbar punctures, and other unpredictable procedures. Maisy and her family have a long road ahead. The Geyer family is facing significant financial strain from the costs of cancer treatment and care, including increased grocery expenses to ensure Maisy has foods she can tolerate while helping her maintain her weight and strength throughout treatment. Keeping enough food in the house for Maisy, her siblings, and themselves is something the Geyer family never imagined they would have to worry about. Frequent trips to and from CHOP also bring significant transportation and fuel costs, adding even more stress and anxiety to an already overwhelming situation. Maisy entered the delayed intensification phase of treatment this past July and the family is now given even greater challenges. Due to the intensity of the chemotherapy regimen, Erin will have to take significant time away from work to care for her daughter. As Erin’s husband is working as much as possible and with young children and a new born at home the Geyer’s are facing tremendous emotional and financial hardship. These burdens will likely continue throughout Maisy's treatment and recovery which is foreseen to be for another 2 ½ years. Any support provided to this family will help ease some of the pressure they are carrying and allow them to focus on what matters most— Maisy's health and recovery.
