About Me

Location: Athens, Ga, United States

Our son Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2004. In 2007, my wife Missy was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. On July 8th, 2009, Missy lost her battle to this horrible disease. 2 days later, on July 10th, Ryan also lost his. Together forever, they both watch over our family now from the heavens above. Below is our families journey through Ryan's treatments, along with the joy and laughter we tried to instill into our daily lives. Those days helped us all cope with the pain and suffering that comes with cancer and it's deadly treatments. Both Missy and Ryan endured high doses of chemo, radiation and surgeries. Over 150 nights spent in the hospital and many, many more days. More transfusions than I could count. Yet both Missy and Ryan took on each day with a positive attitude and warm smile for all their friends. We miss them terribly. They will always be a shining light in our lives.

A Community Comes Together

Even though we were not able to attend, we can tell by these pictures what a great event this was. Thank you, Ken, for taking the pictures for us. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard cooking, selling tickets, setting up, serving, cleaning up, and getting it all organized. Ya'll are just so great and we will never forget it.
Ryan has an infection in his intestinal tract and needed to be moved to ICU to manage it. Please pray for his strength to kick this out really quickly so we can move back to our penthouse suite on the Aflac floor. Many thanks again, Les and Missy

We attended the supper last night. I think it was a great turnout. This community is wonderful in coming together in love, support, and prayer. I'm so impressed at the orginization of FORM and the supper by Deanne, Cindy and all the others, they really have done a great job!! We are continuing to pray very hard every day for Ryan and all of you. If there is anything you all need please do not hesitate to ask.
With Love Christy, Scott, Matt, and Kayla

Hi Guys! What a great turnout last night. It looks awesome. We are thinking about you guys and wishing you all a short stay in ICU. Ryan, just keep on wearing those cowboy boots and you will be back to your other room in no time. You are in our prayers.
