Meet my son, Caleb! Caleb was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma, on December 22, 2002. He was 2 and a half. For the next 14 months my son went through 8 rounds of chemotherapy, 12 rounds of radiation, multiple platelet and blood transfusions, hundreds of shots, scans, biopsys. Stem cell transplant, attempted kidney and a successful removal, experimental treatments that attacked his nerves cells. He passed away February, 18, 2004. His little body could take no more. The heartache left behind never leaves...to help another child not experience the pain along with this disease, there is nothing I feel is more valued.

To experience the heartache of watching a child sufferto such an intolerable, cruel disease that destroys their little bodies from the inside out. As a parent, not being able to take their pain away is the true meaning of heartache. The truely part is, the little person that is experiencing so much physical pain is the one smiling at you saying "Its alright Mommy, I play with angels." The emptiness that comes when they are gone is unbearable at times and just simply incomprehensible. If there is anything at all that can be done to keep one of these amazingly resilant beautiful innocent souls from hurting...please help!
