Meet Lauryn. A wonderfully spirited 8 year old with a zest for life, family and laughter. Recently diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy, with an incidence of about six hundred and fifty cases per year in the U.S., and a hundred cases per year in the U.K. Nearly half of neuroblastoma cases occur in children younger than two years
While typical treatments for Neuroblastoma include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, Lauryn's next year of life will also include surgeries and bone marrow transplants because the neuroblastoma has spread.
Meet Randy. 46 year old father of Lauryn. Randy suffered a mild heart attack Sept. 12, 2013.
Only 30 days away from having his own health insurance activated through his new employer (he works at a hospital) when he suffered the heart attack. No coverage for him.
