Hi everyone! I received this email from the local football organization, and our family is planning to attend. It is a great cause for a local family and the event is right here on the Island. Many of us in the community have children this same age, and I can't begin to imagine what this family must be going through.
Anyway, I wanted to pass the email along in case anyone in the community would like to attend ---
Please join us for...
Brent's Bash
This is Brent Candleana. He is eight-years-old and in the third grade at Matapeake Elementary. Brent was born with Neurofibromatosis (NF 1), a life-long disease which causes enlargement and deformation of bones, curvature of the spine and tumor growth. The tumors can develop in the brain, on cranial nerves and/or on the spinal cord. Recently, Brent was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor on the brainstem that is growing. On September 12, he underwent surgery to implant a port-a-cath to receive chemotherapy. Brent travels to Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC to receive his weekly chemo treatments. In addition, he will need MRI scans every three months plus weekly visits for lab work, physical and Neurological evaluations. Brent’s doctors, family and friends remain optimistic about the outcome of these treatments.
Brent lives in Bay City with his parents, Joyce and Jim, and two brothers. His father works for the DC Fire Department and his mother for Bay Area Pediatrics. Many of us have experienced Joyce’s help and compassion for our children. Now it’s our turn to help her with hers. Please join us on Sunday, November 13, at the ChesapeakeBay Beach Club for Brent’s Bash, a fund-raiser to help Brent and his family. We look forward to seeing you.
