Ronan was born on June 13, 2001 in Edmonton to Joe and Ali. He is a big brother to Malcolm; grandson to Lydia, Teresa and Bob; nephew, cousin and friend to many. A 4th grader at Prince Charles School; musician; music lover; chess champion; Harry Potter fan; bananagram-er; card shark; board gamer, corny joke teller. And cancer fighter.
This blog is intended to ensure that Ronan’s vast support team of family and friends are connected, informed and engaged while he, dad Joe, mom Ali and brother Malcolm help him beat a terrible, scary disease - embryonal sarcoma, a rare childhood liver cancer. So welcome to Ronan’s blog. Sit, read, cry, and vow to fight this fight with Ronan, Malcolm, Ali and Joe. And please leave a few words of encouragement with a Comment.
wow. Joe and I are overwhelmed by all of this.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Yeah, for a family-friendly blog, "wow" will have to do as the most appropriate interjection. I don't know how my family and I have managed to accumulate so many awesome, compassionate and generous friends, but it has been heartening these past few weeks to be continually reminded of them, and that their determination to be there for us is relentless.
ReplyDeleteJoe, You and Ali would do the same for any of us if were in a similar situation. That is what friends and family do. We all want to help in any way that we can. Hi to Ronan, Malcolm, Ali and the rest of the gang in 619.
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to dinner tomorrow night!! See you soon. Jim
