#BudStrong

Taviontae "Bud" Pree 22yrs old and taken to soon, strong as ever. At 16 he was diagnosed with bone cancer. At the time his favorite thing to do was ride his sskateboard . Unfortunately this came to a sudden halt. He went through six surgeries resulting in the removal of his arm bone. It was replaced with a metal rod but he would never be the same. He went through a very severe chemotherapy treatment which had far more risk than likely benefits... He made it though!!! During the healing process bud frantically tried to put his life back together. He had to finish high school and build new relationships. Some years later he began to have seizures which most likely caused by his chemo treatments. On July 19th bud experienced one of the worst seizures of his young life. My brother was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. We sat and waited to hear status. For four days we waited hopefully. On July 23rd the results were in... Bud no longer had any brain function. Do to prior conditions it was difficult for us to acquire funding for a time such as this. We are asking for your help in this time. My brother Bud was a wonderful young man, brother cousin, nephew and son. We welcome you to help us in the remembrance of him. Every donation $5.00 or more will receive one #budstrong bracelet.
