About Me

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.

We Have Tickets!

Just wanted to post the latest - we have tickets to Philadelphia! Hans and I will fly in Tuesday and fly out Wednesday. It took 100,000 donated miles to fly on such short notice w/o a Saturday stay, but thank goodness we had them. I am looking forward to meeting with Dr. Maris.

Thank you to: The Lounsbury family, and the Malone's, for additional miles donations, as well as our friends The Arangos - they were the first to offer to donate miles!

Hans is on Day 5 of Irino/Temodor today. We'll be celebrating as we are outta there this afternoon! He is doing well - it has just been a little too much to try to do Kindergarten in the AM and then treatment all afternoon. We're looking forward to being back at Glen Loch on Monday before it's off to Philadelphia on Tuesday...
