GABE<br />
Age 7 | Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia<br />
<strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Gabe was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic<br />
Leukemia on December 22, 2015 and was admitted to the<br />
hospital to begin treatment. That Christmas, Gabe’s family spent<br />
Christmas in the hospital, but not just because of his treatment.<br />
On December 24th 2015, his baby sister decided that she wanted<br />
to join the craziness and made her grand entrance into the world.<br />
Additionally, his little brother Fabian had to see the doctor that<br />
day too for a double ear infection.<br />
Treatment for Gabe started and went well. Once Christmas break<br />
was over, Gabe was able to go back to school, where he learned<br />
that his health/fitness teacher had also battled ALL 23 years<br />
earlier. The two have become close and Gabe now affectionately<br />
calls him, Uncle Matt instead of Mr. Browne. Even their families<br />
have become friends.<br />
Gabe shares that Uncle Matt “has helped me find ways to cope<br />
with the many difficult times. He’s been so supportive of me and<br />
he gives me hope. When I look at Uncle Matt I know I’m going<br />
to be able to beat this cancer just like he did because we are<br />
warriors!”
