Talan was diagnosed when he was 3 years old with Acute Lymhoblastic Leukemia and he is still undergoing treatment at The Jimmy Fund Clinic in Boston, MA. Talan has hit many bumps in the road along the way including developing pancreatitis because he became allergic to one of the chemotherapy drugs used in his treatment. He spent about 2 weeks in the hospital, 5 days of which were in the ICU. He has been doing amazing lately and we couldn’t be happier with how is he dealing with this battle. He shows such strength and bravery and has become my inspiration! PGA golfer Richard R. Baptist joined Talan for his gold session and a round of golf. Talan loved it!!

Savannah was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on September 3rd, 2012. She is currently undergoing treatment at MAry Bridge Childrens Hospital in Tacoma, WA. She is 3 years old. She is full of energy and not letting cancer slow her down!!
Maya is 11 years old & she is just finishing up her sixth grade year of middle school. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on October 12, 2012 and has about 3 months left of her frontline treatment before beginning maintenance treatment. It is a long, difficult haul and our whole family has learned the meaning of counting our blessings. Maya has been known as a “Strong Girl” since her treatment started–we gave her that tag name on her Carepage & it has stuck, and her motto is the words of a Bob Marley song that she had learned just prior to getting sick “Everything little thing is gonna be alright”. Throughout the arduous treatment, she has attended school whenever possible, maintained straight A’s, continued to dance whenever her body will allow her & persisted in her passion for fashion designing. Maya’s family, friends, school & community have been amazing supports and at times, Maya is the one that keeps everyone else going. She shaved what was left of her hair to raise money for St. Baldrick’s and ended up being the top fundraiser in a shave event with over 900 participants (she raised over $7,000). There are hard days, but she finds a way through them and is so compassionate for other children going through the nightmare of cancer.
