Hope for Andy

Ewing's sarcoma is a primary bone cancer that affects mainly children and adolescents. It's the second most common bone cancer in children, but it's also relatively uncommon. It accounts for only 1% of all childhood cancers. Because many illnesses can cause the same symptoms as Ewing's sarcoma, it's sometimes missed in its early stages.

From the moment Andy woke up and realized that he could not move, his family's worst nightmare had began. After a series of numerous tests, it was concluded that Andy had Ewing's Sarcoma on his spine that caused partial paralysis. Now, a year later, Andy has tumors in his lungs. Although he is learning to walk, Andy is still confined to a wheelchair.

Andy is his brothers brother. He is his mother's son. He is a nephew to his aunts and uncles. Andy is a friend to many.

Your contribution means the world to his family and you will hold a special place in all of our hearts.
