KRISTA KELLER

President

As the founder of Enzo & Me, Krista is the proud mama of Enzo, a pediatric cancer warrior, who upon his devastating diagnosis knew that she had to do whatever she could to improve the treatment and prognosis of all childhood cancers for all children. Professionally, she has a background in childcare and real estate law. She has volunteered at various nonprofits, including the San Francisco SPCA and as a wish grantor for Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area. Prior to founding Enzo & Me, Krista served as the Chair of the Open Space Advisory Committee for the city of San Ramon, California.

“The things I have seen from the inside of the pediatric cancer world have changed me forever and there is no way that I could stand by and do nothing to help. I truly believe that cures for ALL pediatric cancers are out there and I will do everything I can to help make that a reality. There are no stronger, courageous and deserving beings than children, like my precious Enzo, fighting the big fight. For them, Let’s do this!”

DANNY KELLER

Vice-President

As co-founder of Enzo & Me, Danny looks to use his experience in the medical and academic fields at UCSF to drive the research, education, and innovation side of the foundation. He is excited about making many fantastic connections with top researchers in the field in order to improve outcomes for all children with pediatric cancer. Enzo is his world, and when he was diagnosed he and Krista resolved from day one that Enzo’s struggles would not only lead to his recovery, but also the cures of numerous other children.

“There are no words for the emotions you feel when you hear that your child has cancer. It’s something no parent should ever feel. I’ve been on two sides of this disease over the years- as a parent who is supporting other families with children who are fighting pediatric cancer, and now as a parent of a child with cancer. I hope that with this foundation we can help close that gap, connect with families who are lost in the fog of pediatric cancer diagnoses, and help guide both awareness and research support to keep future families from feeling the pain of pediatric cancer.”

CASSIE EVERSON

Secretary

Cassie is a loving wife and mama to two wonderful kids. Working as a Respiratory Therapist, she spent many years at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital as a Research Coordinator for Cystic Fibrosis patients. Her time in this position led to her passion for helping children, and now this passion has led her to the Board of Directors for Enzo & Me.

“As a mom, I feel a deep sense of compassion for people, especially children, and, as a former healthcare professional, I know much more research is needed for pediatric cancer. Watching Enzo, Krista and Danny navigate Enzo’s mis-diagnosis and then proper diagnosis of pediatric cancer has only deepened my resolve to help this community in any way that I can. It’s my compassion and desire to help others that drives me to sit on the Board of Enzo & Me”
