“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: Owen was diagnosed with AT/RT an aggressive brain tumor at 14 months old. He started having seizures about a year later due to scar tissue from one of the two resection surgeries. With no luck controlling the seizures Owen had a hemispherctomy at three and a half. He’s been cancer free for over 10 years and seizure free for over 8 years. Not bad for an 11 year old. He’s been obsessed with super heroes since he first saw super Grover! He truly is my hero, he is my son, my life, my everything.” – Cyndi Y
