Jaden is
Blood Cancer United

After having swollen lymph nodes for some time, my nine-year-old son, Jaden was diagnosed with lymphoma in May 2016. This little guy took the news like a champ.

He was admitted as an inpatient for eight days, and is now receiving outpatient chemotherapy. He is fighting cancer better than most adults and teaching everyone around us what it really means to be hopeful, faithful, brave, courageous and grateful.

We are only months into treatment and have a long road ahead. Jaden feels sick on some days, but on the days he feels well, you would never know he was beating cancer!

My son has struck his community with so much hope and courage and has been a true hero to many.
