  • #GivingTuesday Easton was just finishing up grade four in June 2023 when he started experiencing neck pain and nausea. When his parents learned that he was also experiencing vision problems and seeing double, they got really concerned. One morning, Easton woke up with neck pain so severe it brought him to tears and later vomiting, his parents rushed him to emergency. A CAT scan, followed by an MRI, confirmed that Easton had a brain tumour. Their world was shattered. "Words cannot express what it is like during this time. We were disoriented and lost. Kids Cancer Care was our only anchor, allowing us to stop spinning and stop spiralling into despair", says Amanda, Easton's mom. Thank goodness, YOU were there. YOU are vital to Kids Cancer Care’s healing work to help children and families survive and thrive in body, mind and spirit. When you support Kids Cancer Care, your gift not only helps the child with cancer; it helps the whole family. December 3 is Giving Tuesday.
