It has a two fold purpose: (A) to raise awareness and educate people on Childhood Cancer Awareness, (B) as well as provide pet care packages for children with cancer. He would have a total of 2 brain surgeries (18 hours and 12 hours), 66 rounds of radiation, multiple rounds of chemo, numerous hospital stays (statistically he was in the hospital at least 50% of his 3 year battle), numerous surgeries (port placement, spinal taps, complications from cancer such as wounds, etc.), and many many 3+ hours of MRIs (typically every 6 weeks, sometimes more often). During his 3 year battle with cancer he suffered several complications. The most devastating was the loss of his hands and eventually his legs. His favorite thing to do was playing xbox with his friends. The last year and a half he was unable to play xbox. The last year he was unable to get out of bed. Through it all he relied on his dogs, Adena and Paisley, for comfort and support. When Jayden was told there was nothing else the doctors could do, he was asked what legacy he wanted to leave behind. He, of course, wanted to give a dog to every cancer kid. As great as that would be, its not practical in a cancer family. Thus, the warrior pack care packages was born. Because Jayden loved his dogs, all cancer kids will get a care package of toys for their animals along with a few other goodies for each family member (not four legged). Hopefully, this will put a smile on their faces during this difficult time
