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

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

We hope that everyone is as well as can be. We also hope that you had a safe Labor Day Weekend. Labor Day is one day out of the year that celebrates the spirit of the American worker, no matter what your social class is. Along with Labor Day comes the Annual Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September. You all know the battle that we went through last year and this year with AA and you all know the result and how we still are dealing with not having him physically with us. Unfortunately, we are not the only ones. The way we have encountered childhood cancer since last year is alarming. So many wonderful children and families struck by an un-necessary evil. Many of you did your best to help us out and you surely did and for that we are appreciative. We ask that you try you best to help other children out as well if you can. You could donate to an organization or family with Childhood Cancer, go to your local cancer center like Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC and volunteer. You can donate toys, stickers, ski caps (these are very helpful since many kids get cold), socks, books, DVD movies, etc to local children's cancer centers. You could participate in a Childhood Cancer walk in your city or town. There are many things to do like donating blood as well. So many cancer patients deal with blood transfusions that we need healthy people to donate healthy supplies into the system. Hopefully none of you will have to go through what we went through with a loved one and hopefully we can all help other beautiful children that go through this harsh experience in managing it better. God Bless you all
Michelle, AA, Beemer and Roi
