I'm Riding For

James Fagan

This is my little friend, James. He just turned 8 and started 2nd grade. He was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor called anaplastic oligodendroglioma when he was 6 months old, and in his first five years of life, had 4 brain surgeries, multiple strokes and many seizures. He has been stable for the last three years in terms of tumor growth, however he has health issues that will last a lifetime. James will need eye surgery later this year to correct his eye muscles which have weakened due to his radiation effects and his stroke damage. But he’s a happy boy who is full of love and loves his family and being at school. This is what the GCC is all about, fighting childhood cancer. No one, especially a beautiful, happy child should have to deal with this terrible disease. Any help you can provide will make a difference for James and children like him. Thanks.
