Changing the future one story at a time.

I’d like to recognize my 5-year-old son Quinn, who is currently battling B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He has another year of treatment or in Orlando and we go to Nemours children’s hospital of Orlando. We actually drive a Hyundai Sonata 2013 and we have been going to holler Hyundai in Winter Park for a while. My son was diagnosed with his leukemia all week before his fourth birthday basically missed his fourth birthday. Went through a very hard phase for the first 3 months where he lost his ability to walk because he lost so much weight and muscle. He doesn’t respond well the anesthesia so he has to do most of his treatments. Fully awake where most kids get go to sleep. He never complains. He’s always so happy and he makes the day just so easy when he has treatments. The entire floor in oncology will come over and say hi to him cuz he’s just so nice to be around. He’s so strong. So brave and doesn’t ask for a thing. He’s literally my hero.
