Our Wall of Heroes
Hope + Perseverance = Hero
Our Heroes Have Always Been Kids.
This wall represents just a fraction of kids who have battled or are battling cancer.
NOAH - Putting the Freeze on Cancer
Ever since Noah was a little kid, he excelled at everything. He loved playing piano, soccer, and was very artistic. By age six, he had won a scholarship for piano. He played soccer on the weekends and never missed school. But in September 2007, Noah was diagnosed with leukemia.
BRANDON - Winning the Game of Life
On December 13, 2002, we first heard those awful words: Brandon has cancer. I can still hear the crackle of the white paper as Brandon sat up on the cold looking, blue, exam table. I can still see his sweet, innocent face when the nurse practitioner asked Brandon if he knew why he was there.
EMILIE - Smiles through Life
Born June 19, 2003 in Austin, Texas, Emilie has always had a happy, smiley disposition. She is very energetic and curious-full of life. So it was obvious that something wasn't quite right around Easter 2008.
