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

Helping Others

During our experience last year with Andrew Aidan, we had many people and organizations come to our aid while we both tended to AA's battle with cancer full time. One of those organizations was the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. They were very nice to deal with and were very sympathetic to our battle since Joe himself was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2007. Joe was a former Offensive Lineman with the New England Patriots during their recent three championship run. Thank you Joe for helping us as well as the countless other children you help on a yearly basis. Your help during this week's horrible occurrence at The Boston Marathon is a great example of coming to the aid of others while putting your well being to the side an amazing quality that many in this country seem to have. Thank you!

Michelle, AA (RIP) & Roi

Help Kids With Cancer Please!

Please join us in this campaign to preserve and hopefully increase funding for the National Cancer Institute. Our friend Mafe brought this to our attention... The chemo treatment currently in place is basically the same treatment that was used 20-30 years ago..There have been no significant advancements in the treatment of pediatric cancer. We need to tell our politicians what we want and they need to stop spending OUR money on other countries and people when our own country and people are suffering.... This is OUR country and these are OUR children not the governments. Please let's do as much as we can by spreading the word writing a letter. In memory of AA and all the other wonderful children that have passed away because of pediatric cancer. Thank you!
The LeGar Family.
