Smiles from Sean

After 2 battles with pediatric brain cancer, and another life threatening brain injury in the beginning of his senior year last year, we didn’t know if he’ll ever make it to his clap out this year. The resilience of this child is nothing short of amazing. Kudos to his support system as well.

Sean graduated high school yesterday! But before that we made at quick stop to one of the Bethel Park schools that closed its doors yesterday- the Neil Armstrong Middle School. This building will be forever part of Sean’s life. This is the building where he transitioned after cancer treatment. This where he rebuilt his life. Walking down the memory lane, it was very tough time. Imagine prior to transitioning into this building he was an independent kid that didn’t need any support. Suddenly after cancer things flip hard and he has to rely to someone for support. It was a huge adjustment. We’re talking about a kid who didn’t even want to go back to school and just want to enjoy life while battling cancer. But nobody gave up on this child, and he was guided to the path where he should be. In addition, Smiles from Sean was also born in this building. Sean was a student there when we established the SFS. Our very first coin drive that is now impacting so many lives started there. Legacy was made in this building. And with that NAMS will forever has a room in our hearts.

On Monday, June 1st, Sean walked the halls of Memorial Elementary Bethel Park with his peers one last time!
Sean was diagnosed with brain cancer when he started 4th grade at Memorial and he missed out the entire 4th grade due to his battle with cancer. However, the school rallied behind us during our tough times and darkest moment. This is where our in May campaign started. Credit to the PTA folks at the time for stepping and came up with the idea. We will be forever grateful to our time here at Memorial.
Memorial is one of the 6 schools in Bethel Park that closed its doors yesterday.

It’s been a while since I made an update on here.
Today is the 8 years since Sean second brain surgery that changed his life forever.
It was only 7 months ago when life tried to knock him down for the 3rd time.
Yesterday we visited Penn State Beaver.
Sean had consistently showing the world that regardless how life tries to knock him down, he’s going to shake them off and fight for his place.
