Noah is 12-years-old. On January 11, 2011 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Noah had to have 3 surgeries on his brain. The tumor is not able to be removed, because it is in the mid-brain. He has a VP shunt (a device that drains extra fluid from the brain due to increased pressure) because he had hydrocephalus as a result of the tumor. Noah is a huge fan of the Minnesota Twins. He loves to play baseball and has played since he was little. He also likes to play soccer, but is unable to do so this year because of the tumor and surgeries. He also likes skateboarding. His favorite TV shows are How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and The Office.  His best friend is Andy.
