Six year old Owen was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on July 17, 2010.  Owen is the second oldest in his family with two younger brothers, and an older sister, with whom he has a very special bond.  Owen's most treasured thing in the world is his Sock Monkey, named Bananas.  Owen received this adorable sock monkey on his 6^th birthday - it was a gift from his older sister, and was meant to be there to hug Owen when his sister could not.

Mason was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia one month after being born.  He has lived the majority of his life within the hospital, only able to return home to Montana for a few days each month.  Mason's mother spends her time by his side, while his dad juggles work, their two other children and the lengthy distance between Montana and Spokane.  Mason is pictured here in the special Owl Hat his mom bought for him.  This little owl hat not only comforts and keeps Mason warm, but it also puts a smile on his mom's face when times aren't so easy.

Tommy is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Embryonal Sarcoma of the Liver in September of 2010.  Tommy is the second youngest of five children in his family, who all live here in Spokane. His absolute, most favorite cartoon character in the world is SpongeBob SquarePants. His entire bedroom is covered in SpongeBob. His SpongeBob pillow is the one thing that can always put a smile on his face and provide him comfort when he is not feeling well.
