TEAM EMERSON

Meet Emerson! Emerson’s bright blue eyes and happy smile light up any room! He has the best giggle, and once he gets laughing, it’s hard for him to stop.


He’s such an active kid and loves dirt biking, playing baseball, snow skiing, boating, and playing outside. He is all boy, but he also has a tender heart and easily recognizes the needs of others. He has been known to make friends with the lonely kid in class or get behind on his own schoolwork because he’s too busy helping classmates who are struggling.


Emerson makes friends easily and with just about everyone. He is polite and makes sure to tell every nurse thank you before they leave his room. He is also incredibly responsible, and his family knows they can always count on him for anything. He’s the best babysitter, diaper changer, and is always looking out for his brothers.


Something most people don’t know about Emerson is that his name means “brave!” He was born at just 32 weeks and spent the first month of his life in the NICU. He is tough as nails and doesn’t complain about the hand he’s been dealt. He has a positive attitude about everything and always has a smile on his face.


And what does Emerson want to be when he grows up? A banker, just like his dad (even though his family keeps trying to convince him to have higher aspirations!).

 

At just 10 years old, Emerson was recently diagnosed with metastatic Ewing sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. Doctors discovered a tumor in his leg and several nodules in his lungs.


Emerson has completed his first round of chemotherapy and has a long road of treatment ahead.


Through it all, Emerson and his family are leaning on their faith and the love and support of those around them. They know Heavenly Father is aware of their circumstances and will be with them every step of the way.


This fundraiser is an opportunity for friends, family, and our community to come together in support of Emerson and his family as they navigate the months ahead.

All fundraiser proceeds after production and direct operating expenses benefit Emerson and his family. 💙
