Moby is 11 years old and loves playing sports like basketball and pickleball. In his spare time, he enjoys drawing or playing video games. And when he grows up, Moby has dreams of becoming a lawyer.

As the oldest of five kids in his family, Moby has shown remarkable resilience while his family navigates a tumultuous time in their lives. In 2022, Moby’s sister Maryam was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor called craniopharyngioma. She had neurosurgery to remove the tumor but developed several chronic and life-threatening conditions afterwards.

While Maryam now requires around the clock medication to help her fight illnesses and function in her everyday life, she has a whole team of siblings by her side ready to help. From explaining her health journey to people around them, making sure she takes her medications on time, and letting an adult know when she is struggling with her symptoms, Moby and his siblings are always sensitive to Maryam’s specific needs.

Moby and his siblings do their best to always have empathy and prioritize Maryam’s comfort, sometimes over their own. On several occasions, Maryam has been hospitalized due to how easily viruses can trigger a life-threatening adrenal crisis for her. Even when these scary situations arise on holidays or graduations or vacations, Moby and his siblings have learned to be flexible and adaptable even when their special event doesn’t go as planned.

As a part of the SuperSibs program, Moby and his siblings enjoy receiving mail from Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Whether they’re going on scavenger hunts together or doing crafts, it helps them to feel recognized for their unique situation. Through all the hard times, Moby sets an example for all his brothers and sisters to be a support system for one another.
