This is Steven Shute. I'm fundraising for my grandson, Liam Loften. He is a funny, happy 8 year old, who started experiencing back pain in September 2021. The pain rapidly escalated and he was taken to an ER September 29th. What they saw while examining him caused them to refer him to Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN.
Within days we had a diagnosis, Liam has alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. They need to take some bone marrow, do a spinal tap and put in a port which they hope to do all at the same time. They will begin chemotherapy as soon as possible.
Liam has his mom, Vanessa and dad, Brian supporting him and spending as much time with him as possible. Liam also has two older sisters, Brigid (13) and Katrin (10).
Thank you so much,
Steven Shute
