August marks three years since we discovered the lump on Liam’s cheek that later turned out to be late-stage mucoepidermoid carcinoma. I remember every detail of the cascade of events and heroes that appeared in our life ever since.

There are surprisingly not many resources for families like us, but when we found Melissa & John (yes, our namesakes) from KIDS NEED MoRE, we were immediately blown away! They actually believed that children going through or recovering from cancer treatment needed to be kids first, giving them and their siblings a week at their sleep-a-way camp.

It is a magical place filled with people who understand how VALUABLE life is and have built a community where kids can come together to support each other or just share in the fun. Liam doesn’t ever want to be seen as a cancer patient or survivor—he wants to be like every other boy who would prefer not to think about putting sunscreen on his scars.

Liam will be returning to camp this summer and has invited Julia to share in the excitement.

If you can support, please do, or if you work for a company that would like to be a sponsors, please reach out. It’s a wonderful organization that has touched our lives.
