My Story

Atticus started having a sore leg in December, and in January we went in to the doctor for x-rays and stepped into a whirlwind of tests, scans, and a biopsy. We found out he had Osteosarcoma, and he went in for surgery to install his dual lumen port and start chemo right away. Atticus is a courageous, bright, creative young man. He loves video games and wants to get into architecture and remodel homes. Atticus lives with his mom and his two sisters.
