About the Rae of Hope Foundation
The Boulder City-based nonprofit was described by the Boulder City Review as having been founded by Shawn and Magon Peuker, who created the organization to help other families caring for medically fragile children.
Ewing sarcoma is a rare bone cancer, and national data underscores just how uncommon Isaak's diagnosis is. According to a snippet from the National Cancer Institute, the incidence rate of Ewing sarcoma and related bone sarcomas in the United States between 2016 and 2020 was 3.0 cases per 1 million children and adolescents younger than 20, a rate the agency's materials describe as unchanged from an earlier reporting period.
The city's appeal was to show support for Isaak, 12, as he battled Ewing sarcoma.
