“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: He has bravely beat ALL three times and is only 8 years old. He was first diagnosed at 21 months old. He had a bone marrow transplant in 2012. While on chemo, he developed 2 severe infections, rsv which left him on an adult oscillator for 19 days. Then pneumocystic pneumonia and was on a ventilator for 42 days. Doctors weren’t sure if he would make it. He faced everything with a constant smile on his face, never complaining and has a love and appreciation for life that is so incredible. He’s my hero.” – Jamie F
