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!!!
