On January 19, 2010, a large mass was found in Patrick's abdomen.  The diagnosis of neuroblastoma (Stage 4, High-risk) was confirmed on January 29.  Patrick has undergone 6 rounds of chemotherapy, a major surgery, 13 days of radiation, stem cell harvesting and stem cell transplant, 5 rounds of anti-body and accutane treatments, countless shots, tests, scans, transfusions, etc.  He is still a happy, active, loving little boy.  He is not only my son, but my inspiration and my hero.

Johnathan "Jack" Punswick
Johnathan, called Jack by his loved ones, has practiced resilience throughout his life. Sports taught him this skill, and his cancer diagnosis put it to the test. Now, while Jack fights to win competitive swim meets, he also fights Hodgkin lymphoma.
Brynn Tobin
Brynn is a typical tween who loves basketball, horseback riding, dance, Girl Scouts, and Taylor Swift. What was not-so-typical was her cancer diagnosis. Brynn had a grapefruit-sized brain tumor at 2 years old. Today, she is cancer-free!
Huxley Rogers
Mark Yenbamroong
Mark couldn't wait to be born. He decided to make his entrance to the world in the car, rather than wait for a hospital room. But as soon as 6 weeks old, Mark began facing many challenges, including cancer relapses, in his young life.
