As parents there is nothing more difficult than seeing your child go through something no child should have to endure. David and Geneva's 2 1/2-year-old son, Oliver, has been diagnosed with leukemia. For those not familiar, leukemia is a type of cancer that effects the blood and bone marrow. This world altering news was delivered last week on January 29th.

What began as flu-like symptoms with high fever and refusing food and drink, suddenly turned quickly into concern where Oliver was taken to the doctor. At the doctor's visit he had a blood test that revealed the results, and acting fast to begin treatment he underwent a spinal tap and the start of chemo the next day. Oliver went into surgery on Saturday, February 1st to have a catheter installed in his chest, which will remain until he is cancer free. He will endure weekly chemo treatments for the next few years, while still continuing with speech therapy, pre-school, and all the things a child should be enjoying at this age.

David and Geneva have been by Oliver's side every day during his stay at the hospital, doing everything they can to stay strong for him while navigating this heartbreaking news. As you can imagine, this diagnosis will bring unexpected challenges, and we are reaching out for support to help them through this difficult time. We remain strong as a family, always ready to lend support where we can, but we are hoping to lean on family and friends to be our backup support.
