My Story

Justin is a energetic 11 year old who loves to skateboard, ride his bike, roller blade and loves being on the wrestling team! He is an active kid! Justin makes friends very easily, he really enjoys going to camp during the summer months, for kids who have or have had cancer. He has made many lifelong friends there. Justin has come such a long way since his diagnosis of Rhabdomyosarcoma when he was 2. We have had many struggles but overcoming that has made us a better family. He struggled with many setbacks due to treatment. So we are very glad to be involved with St. Baldrick's to bring awareness to childhood cancer. Hoping that another child doesn't have to go through this. Justin has been cancer free for 5 years now. We hope that his cancer-free status remains for the rest of his life. Battling this disease is one that we don't want him to go through again!
