On April 1, 2010, Aaron was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor in his brainstem. In less than a year he underwent over eight surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. He received a tracheostomy tube, lost the ability to swallow and walk.
 
Even with these things he has continued to maintain a positive and loving outlook on life. He continually reminds people around of how blessed he is. He is the world’s greatest big brother!!!

Alice is the happiest little girl. She loves books, dancing, and playing outside. Her cancer diagnosis was devastating to her family, but Alice's resilience has been incredible and inspiring. Today, she is receiving chemotherapy treatments.
Austin is the happiest little boy, even when he has every right to not be.
When Annie was born she did not produce tears. After a visit to her pediatric ophthalmologist who noticed tumors on her eye, she was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma. After lots of treatment to fight the tumors she has thankfully reached remission!
