I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with:
Daniel the Brave
I am shaving my head for St. Baldrick's in memory of my best buddy Daniel the Brave...
Please support me in raising money to find cures for childhood cancers.
Daniel was a vibrant 3 year old boy. He was full of energy and loved his trains and cars. In late May 2011, his parents started to notice a small limp in Daniel’s walk. They attributed it to being an adventurous two year old. Within, a week his left arm became swollen. They took him to the doctor and blood work and x rays were taken. The doctors thought he may have sprained his arm. That same weekend Daniel developed a low grade fever. The doctors sent them to the ER and he was then admitted to Children’s Hospital. More blood tests were done and we were told he might have Juvenile Arthritis or Leukemia. A bone marrow biopsy was performed and on June 8, 2011 Daniel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
Because of a rare chromosome issue with Daniel's ALL they were told he would need a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT). This same chromosome issue just would not respond to conventional chemotherapy treatment and he missed a BMT due to a relapse in November.
In January a new treatment plan was put together for Daniel at St. Jude, but a fungal infection set him back again.
Daniel was a rarity in that he never let his treatment bring him down. He did have his bad days, but he was always ready to play. He battled hard for 9 months and on February 17th 2012 he went to forever play with the puppies in his garden full of flowers.
Please make a donation on behalf of Daniel the Brave to support children's cancer research so more kids have a chance at a life.
