Since Lisa and I have both lost our Mothers to Cancer in the last few years we decided that we needed to do something to honor their lives. We came up with a yearly contest for a free Photo Session. We asked that people nominate someone living with Cancer or a Survivor. This year was our first year and 22 people were nominated. I wrote out each name nominated by hand and put it into in a bowl. My son was excited to pick a name…
The winner is… Tristan … a 7 year old boy who survived! He is energetic, funny, and full of Joy! What a blessing it was to work with him and his blended family. I asked his mom to give me a bit of a timeline of his journey and she replied “He was diagnosed in April 2013 (when he was 5) with stage 3 kidney cancer (Wilms tumour) and had his right kidney removed shortly after. He had radiation for a week and chemo until October 2013. He did amazingly well all through his treatments and all his scans have been clear since then.”
We wish Tristan and this family a lifetime full of great health and happiness.
