Morgan’s Story

“We wanted to give young children battling cancer the preschool experiences that Morgan was deprived of.”
— Rod (Morgan’s Father, Co-Founder and President of THE MORGAN CENTER)

In 2000, Morgan Zuch was a typical, happy 2-year-old girl. She went to preschool, laughed, and giggled all the time. Then, in October of that year, Morgan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Her happy world was turned upside down.

She spent her next two and a half years in and out of the hospital receiving chemotherapy treatment. At one point in her treatment, she did not walk or talk for 10 days. In addition, the chemotherapy gave Morgan significant short-term and long-term side effects. Morgan completed treatment at the age of 5. At 10 years old, Morgan was declared cured of cancer.

Morgan graduated from Marist College Magna Cum Laude, with a degree in Psychology and Special Education in May 2020. She earned her master’s degree in educational psychology at Marist College, NY, in 2021. While an undergraduate student at Marist, Morgan was a 4-year scholarship athlete with the Marist Women’s Crew team. She received numerous awards and distinctions as an undergraduate student athlete.

In 2019, Morgan and her Marist teammates won the NCAA Division I MAAC Women’s Rowing Championship and competed at the 2019 NCAA National Rowing Championships.

Morgan is now 27 years old, is a teacher and counselor at THE MORGAN CENTER, and is also a Counselor at First Orlando Counseling Center, Orlando, FL.

Morgan is dedicated to helping children, teens, and young adults thrive through personalized, compassionate guidance. With a Master’s in Educational Psychology, she applies memory reconsolidation and NLP to remove past blocks and support growth. Drawing on her own healing journey from 20 years of medical struggles, she deeply understands the mind-body connection. Morgan empowers individuals to create lives filled with peace, confidence, and well-being.

Morgan’s personal journey through childhood cancer—and the long-term effects of her chemotherapy treatment—deeply shaped her life’s purpose. Her experiences inspired a calling to help children, adolescents, and young adults heal physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
