My Story

In April of 2022, Cyrus began experiencing severe leg pain. After several doctors, and multiple hours spent in urgent care and ER rooms, our sweet boy was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He was only three years old when he was diagnosed, and robbed of so much. Since his diagnosis, he has endured numerous lumbar punctures and bone marrow biopsies, rounds upon rounds of chemotherapy infusions, and several longterm hospital admissions. Through it all, he has shown a level of courage that no three year old should have to exhibit. But Cyrus is more than his diagnosis. He is a little brother to two big sisters, Coral and Chloe, and a big brother (by one minute) to his twin sister, Charlie. He loves firetrucks, the color orange, camping, playing outside, and all the stuffed animals he can fit in his room. He is curious and quirky, and he makes everyone laugh with his silliness. And when he grows up, he wants to be a fireman, just like his Daddy. Cyrus just finished the frontline portion of his treatment, and will begin Maintenance soon. It is because of incredible organizations like St. Baldrick's, funding crucial research, that Cyrus will beat his cancer, and go on to live a life full of joy. We are so grateful for the lifesaving work of St. Baldrick's, for giving us the gift of a cure, and many more years with our perfect boy.
