My Story

GW is my son. He has always been the family "clown". His sense of humor outshines us all. He appears shy at first but once you get to know him you see his personality start to show through. He enjoys being with friends, riding his bike, video games and clowning around. If he is home you can usually find him watching the Discovery channel or Animal Planet. GW was diagnosed with A.L.L In October of 2009. Our once fun-loving teenager who never hung out at home is now fighting for his life. He endures one spinal tap after another....bone marrow biopsies, and has undergone 108 injections to his legs...three at a time every other day! Gw is currently in remission, praise God. He began the maintenance phase of his treatment in June. He has a long 3 yrs of treatment left but with his strong will and determination and the support of family and friends I know he will prevail!
