Help this kid please
9-year-old boy in LA with brain cancer, he's got 7 days of radiation left. Please visit the site and post a note of encouragement in the "shoutout" area. Thanks very much.

Most appreciated. Having just finished going through chemo for my own son, I know that this stuff makes a HUGE difference! He's already got one SOG guy liking his FB page, I'm hoping for a lot more.

I tried to send a shout out but it said it might not take. If it don't I'll try again tomorrow. I tears my heart out when kids get sick.

Sir, I may not know you by name or face but I hope it brings just a sliver of solace when I say that you and your son will be in my thoughts and prayers. I to am dealing with cancer at the moment but it's a type that seems to have a very high cure rate. Just hearing that word from a medical professional makes me shutter.
I wish the best to you and yours.

We'll pray for you too. Medical advances in this area have been amazing -- I would be dead if I had what my son had when I was a kid. My son is in remission and hopefully it won't come back.

Hoping for the best....
Thank you for sharing Jackson's story and your own.
Made me hug my daughter a little bit tighter tonight. Sent Jackson a note. Best wishes to your family as well.

Done...
GBM is very difficult to treat and is very rare in children. The thing I hate about brain tumors is that even if remission/cure is obtained, there are often very severe after-effects from the surgery and treatments.
We've got a few similar patients in my AO. Prayers and support out for this boy and his family.
The strength, grace and determination demonstrated by these children is humbling, and their battle can bring out the best and the worst in their families.

As a cancer survivor for almost ten years now, I know somewhat about this but, couldn't imagine having to watch one of my children go through this. Thanks for the link, I was able to send a message of support.
Prayers go out to this family and Fight on Jackson.....jd

RL....thanks for the heads-up about this little warrior. Shout-out sent. Prayers are out for Jackson and his family....and for yours.
Events likes this bring a tear to a FOG's eye, and inspires me to never let a day go by without a hug and encouragement to my five grandchildren.
