Hey - we just found out that the charitable owners of the Squirrel Creek Ranch have invited the Neuroblastoma families out for a weekend in September. Our Nurse Practitioner said that historically they haven't invited the little ones, but that she pushed for it and they gave in this year. I found this site online with a news clip on the ranch from last year. It's pretty sweet! It's like Elle says, "only about one half of one percent of cancer is good...Costa Rica, Chicago and then the ranch." I guess this family has children that have been treated at TCH Cancer Center, so they dedicate four weekends of the year to hosting children and their families. Pretty generous. http://www.txccc.org/content.cfm?content_id=1385 We'll give you an update after tomorrow's office visit.

About Me
- Hans Weberling
- Bakersfield, CA, United States
- Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.
