MASON<br />

Age 5 | Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia<br />

On July 8, 2015, <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Mason was diagnosed with Acute<br />

Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a type of cancer in which the<br />

bone marrow makes too many immature white blood cells. He<br />

began his first round of treatment thereafter, in which it was<br />

found that he was extremely sensitive to, causing him to have<br />

high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and temporarily unable<br />

to produce insulin on his own. Mason was also diagnosed with<br />

Aspergillus - a serious fungal infection in his lungs, kidneys, head<br />

and spine.<br />

Mason lives in Hawaii and is a tudent at St. Michael’s Preschool<br />

in Waialua. He enjoys the beach, fishing and all things dinosaurs.<br />

When he and his big sister Taylor aren’t catching fish in their spare<br />

time, he is always having a good time with family and friends.<br />

Through it all, hasn’t lost this contagious smile!
