Today’s not-so-fun fact from Childhood cancer Warrior is about neuroblastoma. We met a family whose son, James, had a neuroblastoma diagnosis. James was a happy little man with a great smile, infectious laugh, and his thumbs up. He loved bottle flipping, Camp Ooch, baseball, and cars – both Hot Wheels, and hot rods. He completed his treatment, but relapsed shortly after. Unfortunately neuroblastoma, when it relapses, does not usually have a good outcome, and sadly, James passed away on September 2^nd, 2019, forever 5. His funeral was standing room only, packed with friends and family. Spider-man was there, a song from one of James’ favourite movies was played, and a local car club, the Dog Patch Devils. Every year, the Dog Patch Devils host an event named Fenders Day. They raise money to help out families who are going through a difficult time, and the May 2019 Fenders Day was for James. The Dog Patch Devils showed up in spades for James’ funeral, and in a fitting tribute that James would have loved, they left together in single file, all revving their engines as they passed the funeral home entrance. James endured far too much for what any child should have to go through, but he did it with courage, and a great attitude. We could all learn a lot from being more like James. Remember James’ life by visiting his Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/littletrooperjames/ and sending some love to his mom, Lee-Ann, and his dad, Sam.
