As he approaches his ninth birthday, Logan is a cheerful, curious, and ambitious young boy. But his journey began very differently. At just eight months old, he was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic neuroblastoma.

“His symptoms started when he was six months old. For two months, I saw our doctor several times before finally insisting that Logan have an X-ray. An hour later, we received his diagnosis: an incurable cancer of the nervous system. We were told Logan had about two weeks to live,” recalls Catherine, Logan’s mother.

Catherine says she can never thank the staff at CHU Sainte-Justine enough, especially Logan’s pivot nurse, for supporting her family through such a difficult time. She is also deeply grateful to the donors and researchers who are working to improve outcomes and save lives.

“When Logan was declared cancer-free, the doctors told us that if his cancer ever came back, there was only one treatment option available. Today, there are about five different treatment options, all thanks to research. Research is the future. It gives us hope that we can find effective solutions for every type of cancer. Every donation has the power to make a difference. I’ll never find the right words to say thank you, because today I still have my son with me, and I get to share so many wonderful moments with him.”
