Ryan Roberson: A Gifted Athlete and Brave Warrior
Ryan Roberson was a gifted baseball pitcher at New Mexico Junior College, known for leaving everything on the field. In July 2018, Ryan's promising athletic career was put on hold when he was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, an aggressive form of pediatric bone cancer. Despite the devastating diagnosis, Ryan faced his condition with formidable bravery and determination, characteristics he had always displayed as an athlete. His battle, though heroically fought, ended on July 19, 2019.
Ryan's legacy, however, continues to inspire and drive efforts in fighting pediatric cancer. Motivated by a deep dedication to preserve his son's memory, and drawing inspiration from Ryan’s beloved movie, 'Field of Dreams,' Drew Roberson established Fields of Gold. This brand not only captures Ryan’s spirit but also puts a spotlight on pediatric cancer.
Supporting Pediatric Cancer Research
The stark reality of pediatric cancer research funding is alarming: of the $7 billion annually raised for cancer research, only $250 million is allocated to pediatric cancer. This significant disparity highlights the urgent need for increased funding and awareness. Little Warrior Foundation is dedicated to funding research that specifically targets pediatric cancers like Ewing Sarcoma. The Little Warrior Foundation has advanced work in liquid biopsy detection, chemo-immunotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT),and molecular guided therapies—each pivotal in extending and saving young lives. Born from a desire to change this narrative and make a lasting impact, Fields of Gold bottles proudly feature the Little Warrior Foundation logo, bringing awareness of this important organization. NexTerra, through its Fields of Gold brand, is honored to support pediatric cancer research and the Little Warrior Foundation in this way.
A Legacy that Transcends Through Every Bottle
Crafted with care and commitment, Fields of Gold is more than just a wine. It is a symbol of a father's love and a promise to honor his son's memory by fighting the disease that claimed his life.
