I would like to introduce you all to Tyler Whitmore. Ty has been my good friend for 15 years. He is the strongest person I know. Hence the Superman logo!

Tyler has been bravely battling Neurofibromatosis for nearly 20 years. Despite endless trips to Philadelphia for treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, he remains incredibly positive with a zest for life and a strength I am not familiar with.

Recently, he was diagnosed with a high-grade astrocytoma, a malignant and rapidly growing brain tumor. Starting around August 11, Tyler will need to travel to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) five days a week for eight weeks for radiation treatment. This is a significant commitment, and his parents will need all the support they can get.

Tyler’s amazing mom Cheryl does all she can to support his medical needs while also providing for her family. The next couple of months will be especially difficult with the need to provide transportation and cover all expenses associated with Tyler’s upcoming treatment.

I am confident that Superman will get through this as he always does, but his mom could really use some help right now so she can fully focus on Tyler during this difficult time.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
