UPDATE:

Please say a prayer for the Campbell family. Bradley is a three year old from Alderson, WV who has started the dying process. Bradley is in a lot of pain and the family is doing a great job with trying to keep him comfortable, but there is only so much they can do. Bradley has already allowed me to kiss his whole face, he continues to make "sweet eyes" at me, he smiles and he opens his eyes really wide when I ask. This little man is a lady's man! He also likes Darrell to stand in the doorway so he can keep an eye on him. He is so gorgeous and such a little lover. My heart constantly breaks for him. Sherri and Robbie are awesome parents, that's all there is to that.
If you would be so kind as to send a card to the children, Bradley (3), Dustin (8) and Marissa (9), it would be greatly appreciated. I spent some quality time with Marissa and Dustin the other day making pies and they are definately emotionally hurting, but at the same time, very supported by mom and dad. The address to send cards is P.O. Box 743; Alderson, WV 24910. You can write them to all the kids, individually or to the children in care of Sherri and Robbie Campbell. Thank you so much on this effort.
You can also learn more about Bradley at Bradley's site and please sign the guest book. Thanks again. P.S., we will be putting up photos soon. We have a picture of Bradley's family, Darrell and I, along with Tom and Jennifer Bowen, Big Ben's parents.
Thomas Mayer, a seven year old from Greene, Iowa, has recently been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Stage 4. This type of cancer is a lot like AT/RT. It is rare, aggressive and unfortunately also takes more than it leaves behind. The family is considering a web page for Thomas.
Who Are We?
We are parents of a small child who was diagnosed with a Rhabdoid brain tumor (ATRT). After seven months of fighting, with seven different treatments, our son's sun set for the last time on Earth.
Chayton Hunter Anderson was 14 months old when he was diagnosed with this rare and aggressive form of cancer. He was the 35th patient in the United States and surrounding countries diagnosed and registered with ATRT and the survival rate is a mere 1%. This type of cancer mainly affects children ages 2 and under. Unfortunately, it takes more than it leaves behind.
We are aware that many children have been misdiagnosed with another type of cancer before the correct diagnosis is reached. This is not always the case, but it is important to understand that Rhabdoid isn't always the first thing found when tumors are tested.
Why We Are Here:
We know all too well the financial damage a tragedy like Rhabdoid leaves in it's wake. It is difficult to work when you have a young child that you know may not or is not going to survive and the highest priority is usually to spend time with your child and bond, attempting to make up for lost time before the actual loss.
That is where we come in. We are here to try to pay the bills aquired by the families affected by Rhabdoid, AT/RT and other pediatric cancers. Simply put, we want to help. See other Rhabdoid Kids on the Rhabdoid Kids Page.
Our Mission Statement:
Our methods and procedures are for the good of all. We would like people to feel as comfortable as possible when talking to us or asking for assistance. We shall not place judgement on anyone for any decisions they may make. Keeping in mind that although experiences are similar, no two are alike completely. Our goal is to continue to show compassion for years to come.
For He shall give His angels charge over you; to keep you in all your ways.
Psalms 91:11
