Support Marty’s Brain Cancer Recovery!
Just a few short weeks ago Marty Ferreira age 11 was an active boy playing games outside at his home in Poplar Hill ON just outside London, until one night suddenly waking sick with a debilitating headache. Taken to LHSC Children’s Hospital a scan revealed a parent’s worst nightmare, a brain tumor. Within days Marty bravely underwent brain surgery with most but not all of this cancerous tumor removed. His journey to recovery is only just beginning. A second brain surgery is scheduled and after he recovers he will be heading to Boston and stay for radiation treatment for 2 months, 5 days a week, then chemotherapy upon his return. Naturally there are immense costs to all of this including the US dollar exchange for the 2 months there, and the spirit of this wonderful community is to help this brave boy and his family.
