Dr. Mark Weinblatt and Dr. Phil Scimeca were two

of Gregg’s doctors when he was at North Shore

University Hospital. They left a lasting mark on us

and we will always be grateful for the care they

provided for Gregg during that time. Dr.

Weinblatt and Dr. Scimeca now are heading the

Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University

Hospital. Winthrop’s Cancer Center for Kids is the

largest outpatient facility for treating children

with cancer and blood disorders in Nassau

County; it is the County’s only member of the

Children’s Oncology Group (COG), a prestigious

international consortium of collaborating

hospitals recognized as leaders in the treatment

of childhood cancers. COG membership places

Winthrop at the forefront of research, and the use

of the latest treatment protocols.

After last year’s event we were able to donate

$52,000 to Winthrop’s Cancer Center for Kids,

bringing our 7 year total to $450,000. The

generosity and support of family, friends, and

business associates helped to turn our family’s

dream into reality. Honoring Gregg’s memory

and continuing to help other children and their

families who are battling this disease is

something we believe is important. We hope that

you will agree and participate in our outing in

some manner. To see what the Cancer Center for

Kids is all about, please visit their website at

EIGHTH ANNUAL

Gregg was born on January 14, 1984; a healthy

baby boy. One evening ten weeks later he

started to show signs of respiratory distress.

What we thought was a typical case of croup

turned into the worst time of our lives. Gregg

ended up in North Shore University Hospital

under the care of the Pediatric ICU and

Pediatric Oncology Department. His team of

doctors and nurses were all top notch and had

hopes that the tumor in his chest was treatable.

Shockingly to all of us when he underwent a

biopsy the tumor was not what the doctors’

had anticipated and there were major

complications. Gregg died during the surgery.

Needless to say Gregg’s death has been a life

changing event for us in so many ways. From

that day forward we understood that you truly

do not know what life will throw your way and

that you have to live life fully. We also became

regular basis. It has been a hope of ours as a

family to be able to support and help others

who are in need. Over the years, we have been

show this support to others.
