PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Resident Nicolas Limanov organized a comedy night held at the PAL Youth Center, 33 Baldwin Road, to raise money for Hannah Cerullo.
Limanov, along with Parsippany IHOP General Manager Jonathan Lemus presented the Cerullo family with over $300.00 in checks raised during the event.
The event “Yellow for Hannah” featured five comedians and two DJ’s. Tickets included all you can eat chicken, pepper steak, rice, vegetables, and beverages provided by IHOP.
Hannah Cerullo, a student at Brooklawn Middle School, was admitted to Morristown Memorial Goryeb Children’s hospital after complaining about abdominal pain.
Doctors performed several scans and found a baseball size mass on her left kidney. She underwent surgery to remove her left kidney and the mass. During surgery, they placed a port in her chest for treatments and better access to her veins.
One week later the pathology was back. The Pathology results showed that Hannah has Wilms Tumor; a pediatric cancer. Hannah was diagnosed with stage four cancer due to the disease spreading to her lungs and liver. Since diagnosis, Hannah hasn’t stopped fighting. She has undergone multiple rounds of aggressive chemo with many more to go, full radiation to the abdomen and full radiation to the chest. Although the treatments have proven to be effectively attacking the cancers, they are also taking a toll on Hannah. Since diagnosis, she has been in and out of the hospital on a regular basis undergoing transfusions, getting boosters and treating fevers.
The Cerullo family cannot begin to express their gratitude regarding the outpouring of support given by family, friends and community members while they once again go face to face in a battle against cancer. This time it is their sweet Hannah Girl, Warrior Princess.
