Just before her third birthday in 2015, scans revealed that Brecklynn had cancer all over her little body. Her main tumor was in her left lung, two in her brain, two in her spine, one in her arm and one in her leg. Three days into the journey, she went into major brain surgery to remove the two brain tumors. A few days after, on Thanksgiving day, she began her first round of chemo. Since then she has been through 10 rounds of chemo, two major lung surgeries to remove the tumors, 20 rounds of whole brain radiation and many other procedures. She relapsed in February 2017 and is currently fighting cancer yet again. Her road is a long one with no real certainties on what is next. Her case is extremely rare, with less than 40 cases of PPB spreading have been documented. Her strength is awe inspiring. She is truly an inspiration and just loves living life. She is a different princess daily and loves dressing up with her little sister.

Anyone who has met Gus will tell you that he has a smile and energy that is absolutely infectious. He is a happy, energetic, active 4-year-old boy.

On November 12th, after his day at preschool, Gus was experiencing leg pain so intense he began to cry.

His symptoms seemed to improve after some rest, until the next morning when we rushed him to urgent care. His leg was in so much pain he wasn’t even willing to walk down the stairs.

On November 16th, after countless hours of testing and waiting in the hospital, we were handed the hardest news of our lives: Gus’ specimen in the lab was malignant.

On Wednesday November 21, we learned that our sweet Gus had a tumor in his leg that was in the Ewing Sarcoma-family, a bone cancer that attacked the femur and surrounding soft tissue. He would need some concentrated chemotherapy treatments. The other blow we received was that Gus’ tumor is very close to the growth plate in his leg, leading to some intense surgical options to save his leg or at least part of it.

Please consider donating today to help fund Ewing Sarcoma Research. Every dollar counts to help find a cure!
