Austin G.

Austin was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia in April of 2006.  His doctors are optimistic that he will have a full recovery.  His parents believe so too.  Austin is very determined to fight his cancer by thinking positive, staying strong, and helping others. 

He volunteers his time to speak at events and try to raise cancer awareness.  He plays his saxophone in the hospital halls.  He is inspired by his best friend Marlon Howe, who lost his battle to cancer but taught Austin to think good thoughts and encouraged Austin to stay strong.

Austin is in fifth grade and is very talented and creative.  He loves playing the trumpet and sax with the Jr. High School Uptown Jazz Band. During his free time, he writes songs.

Before diagnosis, Austin was very dedicated to playing basketball.  He was on a traveling team and played with a local basketball league.

Austin believes that with good thoughts, prayer, and positive energy, we will win his battle to become healthy again.
