Andrew Aidan, Our Fighting Warrior!

Andrew Aidan and his dog Beemer have been the pride and joy of their parents, Michelle & Roi ever since they were born. AA loved to take walks outside, play with his best friend Beemer and his Thomas the Tank Engine set of toys along with any other plane, helicopter, car, truck toy he can get his hand on. For those that have met him, they saw the soul of a mature adult in the body of a sweet, loving boy with a beautiful smile. He bravely battled an aggressive, inoperable, rare form of brain tumor called Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor or AT/RT that spread to his spine as well. This type of cancer effects less than 50 children a year in this country. He has been an inspiration to us and we are sure he will be a vessel of motivation to those in similar situations. Thank you God for protecting our boy!

Thank You!
Andrew Aidan (R.I.P.) , Michelle (Mother), Roi (Dad) & Beemer

Giving Back To Those That Helped

Just wanted to let every one know of a pretty good event happening this weekend. It's one I was lucky enough to be a part of. Today was the first day of a two day expo called The New York Baby Show at Pier 92. Pier 92 is located on the West Side Highway & 55/56 Street. It's an event with varied types of vendors and seminars and workshops. I was there today in order to help out the NYC Dads Group I am a part of. The group had a Dad's Lounge sponsored by Huggies which gave Dad's the opportunity to change their children at a changing table or have a seat to feed or give the little ones nap time. It was really nice to meet some of the guys from the group, especially Lance & Matt, the organizers of the group. They have been so supportive of our battle with Cancer. I also felt fortunate to be a resource to new fathers by informing them of the wonderful things that groups like NYC Dads Group do for other fathers. I am happy to have gone and represent the fighting spirit of AA and our family in person. Please try to make it out there if you can. Tomorrow Sunday is the last day. It a great chance to encourage Dad's to be more involved in their children's lives in order to make a positive difference in their lives. Thank you and good night.
Roi
