I never had the honor to meet Liam but, I know his story through his mom and dad. I worked with and became friends with his dad soon after Liam passed away in 2005. What hit me then and stays with me to this day is the way Kevin spoke of the battle Liam fought and how positive he stayed and how much joy he brought.

Kevin and Andrea, thank you for letting me share his story!

Please read more about Liam below.

Liam was always the typical little boy who loved running, playing, laughing and being silly. He had a smile that would melt your heart and a laugh that was contagious. He continued to be a "normal", beautiful boy throughout his entire battle with neuroblastoma, even with his "tubies" and yucky medicines he had to take. He amazed us all with his strength, courage, patience and trust and he still made us all laugh! He remained a "normal" boy, probably because he didn't have the fear that we adults owned. Liam never owned the adult concept of feeling sorry for himself and taught many adults life lessons that we will never, ever forget.

Liam loved dinosaurs from the time he could walk...he was sure he would be a paleontologist and discover more bones! He also loved Power Rangers, monster trucks, Star Wars, baseball, and every color of the rainbow... and he loved blue Gatorade, lemonade, and pretzels! He was our "Superman" and he still is! Liam was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when he was 3 1/2 years old and after battling this disease for 20 months... he died at home at age 5 1/2... leaving behind his little sister, Alli … Liam's 5 incredible years here on earth and we will use his passion for life to help others and to spread awareness about these horrible things that happen to our children. Clearly, "Childhood Cancer Should be Extinct!"

HOPE FAITH COURAGE... Kevin, Andrea and Alli Kane
