Giovanni's Brain Tumor and Awarness

A little over a year ago, our oldest son Giovanni now over 2 years old, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in a completely freak accident. He was 10 months old at the time, and the news was absolutely devistating.

He was diagnosed with a choroid plexus papilloma in the third ventrical. It was enormous and took up so much space! The doctor told us that if we hadn't found it when we did, different symptoms would have started popping up, most likely before his first birthday. At that point, any damage would have been irreparable. We also found out that the location and size of his brain tumor was a hard place to get to and most of the time, leaves the patient with symptoms afterwards. Would we have our son back?

Though insurance covered some of the expenses, we do have remaining hospital bills and more to come. He needs follow up MRI's from here on forward as well as visits to doctors.

We always want to stay on top of things, but this isn't the single motivation behind my campaign.

This is what brings me to the rest of our story. Our doctor, the most amazing doctor I've ever met, had performed the surgery using a wonderful new tool called Brain Path. It was developed by the Nico Corporation. It made surgery so easy, with no damage done to his brain. We would like to spread the word!

We believe after what we've been through, there are families out there who are not aware of this wonderful technology. Therefore, we would like to make a donation to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation in the hopes that they would spread the word, develop new technology, and help patients make quick and amazing recoveries. Any help that you could give would mean the world to us and to other families who are also going through the same horrible situation.
