My Story

Jude is a fabulous 4 1/2 year old little boy who recently got diagnosed with stage 4 Burkitt's Lymphoma. How do you begin to describe a perfect child? He's so kind, loving, relaxed little boy who has such a fantastic sense of humor that keeps me, his father, and younger sister Addie (3 1/2) laughing all of the time. He loves anything to do with Super Heroes and takes every opportunity he has to dress up in full costume. He and his sister Addie are 15 months apart and I can only describe them as "they go together like peanut butter and jelly". Jude is being such a trooper through his rough treatment so far. He looks very forward to his "Man Nights" with his daddy at the hospital. Just this morning after been in the hospital for the last week and being in pain, he looked up at Grandma and asked how her shoulder was doing (she had surgery two weeks ago) - amidst his pain he wanted to check on her! He is the sweetest little boy you'll ever meet.
