Diagnosed with a rare type of childhood cancer in his hip, St. Baldrick’s Ambassador Alan passed away in January 2013 at the age of 5, after fighting cancer for most of his life. Alan’s family has many favorite memories of their spirited boy, but a photo shoot with Santa Claus tops the list. His mother, Judy, recalls that special day.
Together we can take childhood back from cancer for kids like Alan and their families — donate to the most promising kids’ cancer research today.
He perked up near the end of September, once we got his medications and infections under control, and had his Make-A-Wish Day that really lifted all of our spirits.
Alan and Kevin had a great time with Santa at their photo session, and we have one of our all-time favorite poses from that day – what we like to call the “Tee Hee” photo.
Give the gift of life this holiday season. Donate to Alan’s Sarcoma Research Fund.
