Donald M.

Location: Hoffman Estates, IL, US Age: 6

Our little boy is a ball of energy. He is our youngest of 3 boys! When he was diagnosed there were no symptoms, so you can't imagine we had just gone in for a routine check up and the next day they were telling us he had cancer. Our lives went from normal to completely upside down.

Donnie hasn't changed too much he is too little to understand what is happening to him. When he would receive chemo he got pretty tired and cranky and he didn't have much of an appetite but he still tried to keep up with his big brothers!

Donnie loves to watch Elmo and the Naked Brothers Band, he carries around with him his stuffed Winnie the Pooh which he can't live without! He loves to be outdoors and run around playing ball with his brothers or just on a walk.
