This year's effort has become personal when I heard from a friend about her youngest son, Aiden, was undergoing treatment for the most common form of childhood cancer. At just 20 months old, Aiden was diagnosed with high risk, stage 3 cancer at the end of June 2014. He suffered from a condition called Neuroblastoma, which presented as a malignant tumor the size of a fist in his abdomen. After Aiden completed 6 rounds of chemotherapy, tumor excision surgery, and a stem cell transplant at the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital, he suffered a seizure on Sunday morning February 22nd.  An MRI confirmed he had developed 3 new tumors in his brain. One of those had burst and he sustained bleeding to which he was not able to recover.  His physicians were able to sustain him long enough for all family members to say goodbye. Aiden died peacefully as both his parents laid beside him. As tragic as Aiden's story is, we are not held back by our grief.  We are embolden that no child or family should suffer or be held to this fate.  I am honoring my campaign and support as a memorial of Aiden this year and going forward. I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures. Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
