Default Need help for nephew with Leukemia

I'm hoping to get some support for my nephew who is currently battling Leukemia. He just finished up his fourth round of chemo.

He and his team (parents and friends) are going to be doing a "Family Fun Walk" that helps raise money for CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) which is where he is receiving his treatment. The walk is coming up on 9/28.

I ask that you please chip in any amount you can. You'll see I'm in for $50. Your name and/or contribution amount can be anonymous if you prefer it to be.

Here's the link:

Thanks in advance!

Hey... how old is Brandon?

Looks like we may have to do a "FLY BY" at the Childrens Hospital on the next Philly Cheesesteak Run!! See what the hospital thinks about 50 plus Corvettes swinging thru the parking lot at Midnight.(date to be determined).

He is 10ish (I'm horrible with keeping track of ages!)

While 50 Vettes showing up at CHOP sounds nice, I'm thinking midnight is a little past (or before) visiting hours.

We can always adjust the times a little bit.

Lets go people.

This could be your child, your nephew, your neice, your family!!!!!!

Or in this case, it could be an innocent 10 yr old boy named Brandon who has yet to pick what he wants to be in life. Lets make sure he gets to make that decision!!!!

He was below his goal before I came up with the idea to tap the Corvette Community. Since then, it broke his goal and has been slowly creeping even higher.

I would love to see him reach $5000 by 9/28!! That would be unbelievable. Also, a Corvette Run to CHOP would be sweet. However, Brandon does get to go home between rounds of chemo, so if a date is picked for the run, we should probably be sure he's going to be there.
