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

Donate Blood Today!

A common thread that all humans have is the blood the races through our veins. It does not matter which country you are from or which language you speak, all humans need blood. The importance of a healthy blood system is taken for granted by millions but for many men, women and children who are in constant need of donated blood due to various ailments, it is just one added pressure of life. Yesterday, in Andrew Aidan's memory I went to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the hospital where AA received his cancer treatment and I donated blood. Hopefully my blood, the same blood that raced through AA's amazing body can make a difference in someone's battle with Cancer just like AA's story of strength made a difference for many. I ask you to do the same as soon as possible! Go to your local Cancer Center, hospital or blood bank and please make a difference today by donating blood or platelets. We didn't realize how important blood donation was until AA needed transfusions of his own. Hopefully, you will never have to need any transfusions of your own but some one will. It's the closest thing to saving a life. Thank you and God Bless!
