Lymphoma

It’s only cancer. As blasé as that may sound, I work for the Alzheimer’s Association as Walk Manager of the million-dollar Cincinnati Tri-State Walk to End Alzheimer's. Alzheimer’s disease has no effective treatment. No prevention. No cure. It’s always fatal. So, when the doctor came into the emergency room at 3:30 a.m.

My 9 year old son Ryland Bricker is a BMX racer. He started last year mid way through the season. We found out that the USA BMX Foundation does a fundraising campaign called the Race for Life that benefits the LLS. He really wanted to get involved to help so he ended up being the top fundraiser in the country in 2018 raising $7,066.

In December 2017 only a couple days after his 10th birthday Kymani Davis was diagnosed with Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma with a mass on his chest. This was very heartbreaking for Kymani and his family as hearing the word "cancer" for your loved one is very terrifying. With the support and encouragement from his mom and family, Kymani remained hopeful.
