Amazing story from an amazing family

This video clip was run on our local news last week.  We just love to watch it as it reminds us of how blessed we are.  It reminds us that miracles can happen.  The video talks about Liam Jaussi and his battle with brain cancer.  After multiple surgeries and radiation treatments, Liam is cancer free.  Liam and his family are amazing.  When we grow up, we want to be just like them.

Liam is in Lauren’s class and you will see her in a few of the clips.

Here is an excerpt from their family blog that describes how the Liam $6 club began in detail:

Liam showed his caring heart when he learned he would be attending The Heart of Doernbecher Auction where lots of people would be donating money to help children at “his hospital”. He immediately brought his piggy bank down from his room and emptied it out on the table. That night, amid donations of thousands, and tens of thousands of dollars, Liam approached the auctioneer and gave her a little baggie with one dollar bills and told her that he was giving $6 because he is now 6-years old. That small act of charity from Liam brought shouts and cheers and spurred donations of more than $600,000 in the next 15 minutes, an unprecedented amount for the event. Because of the impact Liam had on everyone in that room, the Doernbecher Foundation has created Liam’s $6 Club. As the Foundation stated, “Liam gave as much as he could to help Doernbecher and is prepared to give all he can to beat cancer.

We invite you to join Liam’s $6 Club and match Liam’s gift to children at “his hospital”.
