Tynsley was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at only 11 months old on April 20, 2010. Tynsley began her treatment the next day. She was considered high risk being an infant. She was hospitalized for 38 days to receive chemotherapy. After those 38 days, we found out that Tynsley was in REMISSION. We were able to go home, but then still traveled to Atlanta, GA for treatment once a week. After six months she is now in the maintenance stage and receives oral chemotherapy every night and injected chemotherapy every 4 weeks until July 2012. She is truly our HERO!

Adam is a funny and caring animal lover.
Parker is a shy, timid boy with a huge, caring heart. After leg and stomach pain, he was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma. Because of the tumor's location, surgery wasn't possible so he had chemotherapy for 42 weeks. Today he has been declared cancer-free!
Sawyer is a young man with a big personality who always shows so much love for others. When he was diagnosed with germinoma, treatment had to be tailored specifically to him since he also has Down syndrome. Luckily, it worked and today Sawyer is NED!
