At Myles Ahead of Cancer, our mission is to provide unwavering support to families with children who are courageously battling or have tragically succumbed to cancer. We are dedicated to building and nurturing empathetic and caring relationships that offer solace, strength, and a sense of community during their challenging journey. Through our compassionate initiatives, we aim to make a profound positive impact, guiding these families forward as they navigate the challenging Myles Ahead, one step at a time. In 2006, our son Myles was diagnosed with a rare form of Brain Cancer, Ependymoma. At the time, our sweet son Myles was 3 years old and had been complaining about a pain in his neck. We thought perhaps he slept wrong and that was the cause of his discomfort.  We gave him medicine for the discomfort and eventually took him to the doctor as he was unable to get his balance, and the pain became more frequent.  He didn’t seem to be getting any better.  We were directed to take Myles to the Emergency Department to have him examined via a CT Scan. The Exam results revealed that Myles had a tumor at the base of his spine and was wrapped through and around the nerves. That afternoon/evening we were transferred to Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach.      Myles fought the good fight for two years but eventually transitioned on July 30th 2008. Our family misses him tremendously and although this event is tragic we have found a way to use that energy in a positive way by developing our non-profit, Myles Ahead of Cancer. Myles Ahead has supported and will continue to support organizations such as Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times and the Long Beach Ronald McDonald House.   We truly appreciate everyone that supports our efforts.
