In 2015, I made a comment on a Disney Cruising Facebook page about my daughters and I shaving for St. Baldrick's, and therefore not needing to pack shampoo. :) Unbeknownst to me, another mom in the room, Anita, had lost her son to childhood cancer. She responded to my post, and told me about her son. Anita is also a nurse, and I immediately felt like I had known her forever. I think of Gavin often, and then it came to me...I wanted to name our 2016 shave team in his honor! I asked her if this was OK, and she loved the idea. Below are her words about Gavin. I am beyond honored to do this for him and his family. Please help us fund research and find a cure for childhood cancer. Gavin Michael Sima: Diagnosed with TCell lymphoma. 7 months into treatment we found out he had Myelodysplastic syndrome. Before he was able to get a bone marrow transplant it progressed to acute myeloid leukemia. He finally got his transplant on 10/11/12. We were blessed with a wonderful 1.5 years with him before the Leukemia relapsed. He died on 3/22/14. He was exactly 6 years, 6 months and 7 minutes old.
