24 Hours of Booty Charity Event

Posted on 07 July, 2010 | 1 Comment

Below is an excerpt from a message I was sent from an old friend of mine from High School. I hope it inspires others like it inspired me to donate toward this cause.

For those that may not know, here is Camden’s story:

Camden Rush Kibler was born 2/28/08 into our loving arms. His smile and cheeks brought happiness and love to everyone that had a chance to meet him. At 2 months old we noticed he was having difficulty with his eyes, and was diagnosed with a rare non-terminal skin disease called JXG. He had eye surgery and was given eye drops to cope with the disease. At four months old he developed a fever that did not go away and we started noticing lumps forming on his body.

A week later Camden was in the hospital being tested and diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The original disease that he was given (JXG) was misdiagnosed. Camden started chemotherapy soon after his diagnosis. Doctors warned us that chemotherapy would be tough and that Camden would have many side effects that he would have to overcome. Side effects included nausea/vomitting, mouth sores, possible long term heart conditions, possible learning difficulties and of course hair loss. Camden endured numerous blood transfusions, platelet transfusions, nose bleeds and sleepless nights. In the end the cancer was too aggressive and the chemotherapy was too intense for his little body.

Camden passed away on 8/5/08 in our loving arms. Camden was only with us for five months, but he has touched and changed so many lives in that amount of time that many believe he was an angel. Camden smiled through all the doctor’s appointments, tests, surgeries, treatments and sleepless nights living in the hospital. He gave us the five of the best months of our lives.
