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.

Sunny Tuesday


Ronan's last day out of hospital and we (Joe, Malcolm, Ronan, Jim, Karen and I) spent the afternoon in the fresh air at the Irving Nature Park walking the beach and listening to the waves.
Joe, Ronan and I will be leaving for Halifax early tomorrow morning to be admitted to our 7 Link room. Surgery is Thursday morning at 8am. I expect I will be not blogging until Ronan is out of Intensive Care. (He is expected to be there for a day or two). Karen is in charge of making the update. So...wish Ronan luck...pray very hard...cross your fingers...and we will see you on the other side of this!!

    Thinking of you all...and praying for everything to go well today...I keep jumping ahead in my mind to you guys in Hawaii, smelling the pineapple fields and feeling the warm sun and water on your toes.
    Remember we're here if you need/want anything.
    xo Cousins Lydia & Tanna and the Daddy here too.
