Noah Tsehaye
Noah Tsehaye was born on March 19, 2016 and from day one his dad Brian knew he was special. From a young age, he was naturally artistic and absolutely loves to draw and express himself through art. He's also an athlete at heart and loves to play basketball and football. He enjoys going to school and music. Noah loves to spend his time with other kids. As an only child he really enjoys hanging out with friends at school, he likes studying and getting straight A’s, especially in math and absolutely loves going to basketball games.
Noah is such a big basketball fan that his Make-A-Wish request was to meet Shaquille O'Neal and that experience meant the world to him. He also gets opportunities to watch his favorite team, the Golden State Warriors, play and has met some of the players, including Draymond Green. Those memories are some of his favorite!
Diagnosis
The first symptoms Brian noticed what that Noah was not able to keep his left hand straight up in air when I was teaching him to play baseball. Then his primary care physician ordered a MRI just to rule things out and that is when his parents received the devastating news that Noah had an inoperable brain stem tumor. Despite the shock of the diagnosis and prognosis, his family has remained steadfast in their mission to find the best treatment options for Noah and help him live his very best life each day.
While there has not been a single day on this journey that could be called easy, Noah has been fighting hard and so far his tumor has remained relatively stable allowing him to attend school and continue to get straight As, an accomplishment he is very proud of! Brian is choosing to share Noah's story because he wants to shed more light on this terrible diagnosis and the impact that it has on families like their own.
​
Noah is a shining example of strength, courage and positivity and the Archer Foundation is proud to walk alongside the Tsehaye family in their belief that there are many more good days ahead.
