Travis
Age 18
Diagnosis: Diffuse infiltrating glioma (inoperable brain tumor)
My name is Travis and I’m not a warrior. I’m not a trooper, I’m not a rock star, and I’m definitely not an angel. I’m a kid who doesn’t really remember ever being “normal”. I was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor when I was 8 years old; I am now 18. I look like a perfectly healthy kid with nothing wrong with him. In all reality I struggle everyday with things that people can’t see, but I’ve learned to live with it. I’ve also learned that if you have people who love you, have the right support, and have the right attitude you’ll be happy. In the end that’s all that matters. When you love so deeply and live so freely, who needs being normal?Mikey
Age 11
Diagnosis: undifferentiated sarcoma of the head and neck
Mikey is a smart, sweet and energetic boy who fought the tough fight and is doing wonderful! Mikey was unbelievably strong during diagnosis and treatment. He continues to deal with many side effects, appointments with specialists, etc. and he takes it all in stride. He is so resilient and always has a smile on his face. He loves sports and plays baseball, football and wants to try basketball this year. He is an amazing little boy and watching him continue to grow is one of the biggest joys on our lives.Patrick

Patrick started having headaches in July of 2017. He went to the pediatrician who told us he needed to go to Children’s Hospital immediately. After the preliminary blood work was completed, we were told by a nurse “Patrick might have cancer”. These are words no mother wants to hear. Patrick was diagnosed with very high risk, Philadelphia-like B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). He is currently in active treatment and receives daily chemotherapy treatments. He loves to fish, ride his bike, swim and do flips in the pool.Molly
