Memorial written by Ethan's Dad: Ethan was born on Oct 18, 2002 and passed away on April 27, 2021. He is survived by his two brothers, Tanner, and Evan. Ethan was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma tumor on his brain, approx. 6 cm x 4 cm. He lived a perfectly normal life right up until his diagnosis. After his surgery, Ethan suffered from aphasia and had to learn how to speak and walk again. Through tremendous effort, Ethan was talking and walking again and we were offered a clinical trial that we were hopeful would save Ethan's life. Unfortunately, there is no cure for glioblastoma, and chemo and radiation are not useful against this particular tumor. The expectation is 12-20 months. Unfortunately, the trial did not work for Ethan. He passed away about 12 months after his diagnosis. Ethan was always happy and spread joy everywhere he went. His diagnosis did not change this. Ethan loved spending time with his friends, driving his car, and spending time with his family. Ethan was working on his Eagle scout badge when he got sick, and unfortunately was never able to complete that goal. Ethan loved camping and spending time with the scouts.
My Story
This September, Miguel and I are taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I am excited to take part for the first time in this worthy cause.
Cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
We are honored to ride in memory of Ethan Thomas, who passed away from glioblastoma in 2021.
I am also honored to ride in honor of my niece, Kristen, who beat childhood leukemia against the odds. Kristen is now a wonderful wife and mother of 2 beautiful children, praise God!!
Your support will help change little lives.
Thank you.
