Our story

Our 3-year-old son Nathan was diagnosed with a brain tumor (metastatic anaplastic medulloblastoma) in June 2006. He fought a brave but ultimately losing battle for one year. We spent about half that time at Duke Hospital and half that time caring for Nathan at home. Because of our experience, our Christian beliefs, and Nathan's generous spirit, we felt led to give back to the community that so graciously gave to us during our time of great need.
