What is Steps for Brady?

This blog started when Brady was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy in December of 2008 because at the age of 20 months, he still wasn't walking. 3 weeks later during an MRI we learned that the diagnosis was not correct. Brady was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. He had a large tumor in his chest wall that extended into his spinal column, almost completely compressing his spinal cord. From that point on I have committed myself to telling Brady's story with the hope that he will continue making steps to living his life cancer free!

A Charity Close to Our Heart

During Brady's stay in the PICU following his spine surgery, we were guests at the Ronald Mc Donald House at Strong Hospital. During our trip to Sloan for Brady's 2nd surgery, we were guest at the Ronald House NYC. We were amazed at the hospitality shown to us during our darkest hours. Their organziation is driven by donations and volunteers and we can never say enough about the positive experience we had while using that facility. Please visit http://www.rmhc.com/ to find out how you can help. The next time you visit Mc Donalds, think of our family and drop your change in the Ronald McDonald House Charity box!
