Wow. 7 years later and this guy is still helping people in need. My mom got cancer and this guy wrote me a personal letter and put some gas cards and gift cards in the envelope because he heard about me driving my mom to her treatments and i was spending most of my money on gas. He helped me and my mom out so much! Great dude

Thank you transforming your grief and anger into a gift for others. Thanks is not enough...but it is hard to know what to say after listening to your story. I guess nothing is enough given what children and parents endure with a cruel, terminal affliction. I am sure your little girl is looking down and saluting your bravery. Keep going.

Thank you Tom and thank you TEDx. The Childhood Cancer Awareness movement is finally growing, yet there are still way too many people out there that have no idea. I'm not affected by Childhood Cancer personally but I've been doing what I can for years to spread the word and get it out there. Tom you're a true inspiration.

What a beautiful man. The courage it took to share this with us. I’m honored, moved and touched. You can be sure this will be on the topics to be discussed amongst friends n fam. Chemo is a poor mans trick with very low success rates. There must be a way

Thank you for sharing your amazing story. Much love and heartfelt support to you. My daughters and I have feathers tattooed on ourselves for a number of reasons, some you can understand, I am sure. I've fought Cancer twice. I'm still fighting. My feather is on my head. Blessings to you

At the age of 17 I was diagnosed with staged 4 Hodgkins lymphoma, I am now 19 and I'm starting to feel the effects of the red devil. At time I have random chest pains, still have alot of joint pain from other drugs I was on... trying to get my doctors to setup the appointments is taking forever. I saw my oncologist 2 months ago and she wanted to set up a cardiologist appointment and I haven't heard from her... whenever I call I get a receptionists and they tell me she call me back. My whole cancer experience was a put off by doctors, it took me a year and a half to get diagnosed and I had 3 biopsies to get diagnosed... scares on my neck, that when people she them they assume I was stabbed. Now being in college and still dealing with the effects of cancer is utterly annoying.
