Gavin Morris was born on August 24, 2009 to Chad and Tosha Morris. He was always a healthy, happy, little boy. Gavin immediately became the center of Tosha and Chad's world. On August 15, 2011 Chad and Tosha were blessed with another beautiful, healthy son they named Greyson. Gavin was thrilled to welcome his baby brother to the family.
In May of 2012, Gavin was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at the age of two-and-a-half, after experiencing night sweats, frequent wakeups, and tooth and ear pain. He was treated with six rounds of chemotherapy, stem cell harvest and rescue, an adrenalectomy, 12 radiation treatments and two rounds of antibody therapy.
After all the treatments, the family was overjoyed when Gavin was declared to have no evidence of disease in February of 2013. Only a few months later, Gavin developed a nodule on his head which began to grow. His family knew immediately that he had relapsed. They relocated to Philadelphia so Gavin could receive chemotherapy and MIBG therapy at CHOP. At CHOP, they first heard about Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and decorated a lemon head for Alex’s Original Lemonade Stand. Gavin continued to receive treatment for several months, showing remarkable courage, strength, and hope.
Sadly, on March 10, 2014 Gavin passed peacefully with his family by his side. No child could have ever been more loved. This stand is dedicated to Gavin, his friends & family, and to research for a cure so no other child has to endure what Gavin and his family went through.
