Rileys recovery

Riley grew up way too early for such a little man.

At 16 months old Riley was diagnosed with stage 3 neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. After rounds of chemo the tumor shrunk but not enough that the doctors were able to remove it safely. They continue to monitor him on a monthly basis. This was such a devastating event for our family and friends. As a way to give back we put together a team called "Rileys Rebels". We hope to bring awareness to childhood cancer and to help raise funds to help all the wonderful things that the Canadian Cancer society supports. He was so brave last year when he did his survivor lap. He was the youngest registered in Nova Scotia. We are all so proud of him. We are looking forward to the Relay again this year with all our family and friends who continue to stand beside us with their love and support. See you there...
