Thank you very much for visiting our team page. Our team is honored to shave our noggins in Augustus or "Gus" name. In 2010, Gus was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma two weeks shy of his second birthday when a golf ball sized tumor was discovered in his brain. At that time he underwent major brain surgery to remove 99% of his tumor. After his surgery he lost his ability to walk, talk, swallow and see. Gus had six rounds of chemotherapy followed by rescued stemcell transplant. Fortunately, chemotherapy zapped the majority of the tumors found. Thanks to intensive rehabilitation therapy and lots of hard work on his part, Gus had regained everything back, including his ability to walk! In March 2012, his cancer began to spread again. In June 2012 he completed 30 cranial & spinal radiation treatments in the hopes of saving his life. Gus responded amazingly to radiation treatments and tumors quickly shrank. Unfortunately in January of 2013 a routine MRI revealed a new tumor. Gus is currently receiving radiation treatments to the new tumor site and will soon have a stem cell transplant followed by chemotherapy in hopes of stopping growth of the new cancer. Gus who is now 4 has an amazing personality considering everything he has been through. He has an incredible vocabulary for such a little guy and his communication with others is awesome. Gus LOVES animals. He is a beautiful little boy that will melt even the toughest of hearts with his giggles and smiles. He is truly a mighty warrior, hence his nickname “Augustus the Mighty,” and his strength is an inspiration to many. Many have named him as their hero.
