We don't believe in 'Fighting' cancer. Instead, we focus on using our 5 Pillars to help the families that we serve navigate through the fear, uncertainty and doubt of a cancer journey. We let the doctors use protocols and science to 'fight' the cancer while we focus on maintaining a positive mindset by using these pillars as our guide.
For those that support our mission, are facing challenges or are serving others, thanks for pushing it forward!
Ever seen someone unhappy when eating a donut? We haven't either! That's because when you take a bite of a donut your body releases dopamine - a 'feel good' hormone. Our shirt slogan has the same affect - without the calories! When you do a "Clap, Fist Pump, Wooo" a wave of positive energy rushes through you. This is so important because our cause forces us to confront major challenges and adversity. When it's time to reach out to a family that is in crisis mode because of a sick child, we do a little "Clap, Fist Pump, Wooo" to get our mood and mindset in a positive space. We believe this simple little thing helps us serve our families to the best of our ability. Finally, we hope the shirt helps you get in the right mindset when you're facing your own adversity.
Abram Vincent Carlberg was born on March 27, 2020. Abram was an extremely happy baby and toddler. Very active, very healthy and very cute. When he turned two, his parents noticed his genitals were an abnormal size for his age. His doctor was concerned and sent them to a specialist. It was confirmed that Abram was going through precocious puberty. They didn’t think much of it, until they were told about the usual culprit. A cancerous tumor that releases puberty inducing hormones. They were told that it was extremely likely Abram had cancer. Abram went through a series of tests to find the culprit. Everything was clear, except for a small spot in his brain. They had to wait for it to grow so it could be biopsied. It grew extremely slow which was a great sign. Whatever it was, they knew it wasn’t aggressive. It finally did grow and the neurosurgeon was able to remove it in its entirety! His treatment plan has 4 rounds of chemo and 5 weeks of daily radiation to his brain. Since he’s not able to remain still, he has to be sedated each time. Through it all, Abram has remained a very happy and vivacious little boy. Through the needles, the brain surgery, the scary machines, the vomit inducing treatments, the hair loss, etc., he next to never complains. He is indeed a warrior.
