“How quietly he tiptoed into our world.
Softly, only a moment he stayed,
But what an imprint his footprints have left upon our hearts”

Aidan was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor, on December 19, 2009 after a very brief illness. He endured multiple surgeries and five rounds of high dose chemotherapy. Our sweet, very brave boy lost his battle and went to heaven on July 30, 2010. He was 3 years old. Read more about Aidan.

Although Aidan did not get the chance to live a long life, his courage, bravery and strength continue to inspire us everyday.
Run fast, sweet boy…We miss you deeply. Love, Mom and Dad

Research is vitally important for finding and providing new or improved treatments. Research is also necessary to find ways to make treatments safer for children, so that they not only survive, but experience a good quality of life. Money for research is very limited. The number of diagnosed cases of medulloblastoma is quite small compared to other forms of cancer and therefore does not receive adequate funding. While this is understandable, it demonstrates the importance of funding research.
