Love & Happiness for Liam Now

Donation protected
UPDATE 12 Sep: Today we will suspend this Love and Happiness for Liam campaign so Liam's parents can create their own GoFundMe campaign for very specific medical needs for Liam.

Liam's vacation was a huge success and raised over $5,000 in cash and close to $50,000 in donated goods & services in less than 25 days. Hundreds of people associated with wonderful organizations throughout Southern California joined us to ensure that Liam and his family had an unbelievable jaw-dropping fun-filled 10 days of incredibleness!

Besides the money that was raised, Liam's story was covered nationally by People, MTV, NY Daily News, and many more outlets, raising awareness of Liam's rare childhood cancer.

The mission is not over - money is still needed to care for this child's upcoming medical and living expenses.

Desert Sun Article - Sunday August 24th

"Liam Myrick, a 5-year-old boy from a small Missouri town who is fighting a rare cancer, has always wanted to see the ocean. Now his wish is coming true, thanks to the help of a group of Coachella Valley residents and businesses.
"Liam was diagnosed at age 3 with Stage 4 neuroblastoma, a cancer that attacks nerve cells. Liam's life story, well-documented on Facebook, touched Palm Springs philanthropist Rick Pantele, himself a three-time cancer survivor." Read more: Desert Sun Palm Springs (Aug 24)
