Bracelets for Noah!

No One As Heroic = Noah!

Noah Severns is a fourth grader at Del Mar Hills Academy of Art & Sciences who was diagnosed with Osteoscarcoma (a type of bone cancer) at age 6. He underwent surgerty to remove the cancerous part of his skull and had a plate implanted to protect his brain.

Over the course of the last three yeras, Noah has needed numerous transfusions of platelets and whole blood during subsequent surgeries to remove the cancer that had spread to his lungs. This past summer, Noah underwent a cricical surgery to remove the plate in his head and replace it with muscle from his stomach to increase the blood flow and prevent infection. More recently, Noah ahs been undergoing a stronger chemotherapy but still has managed to make it to school every day.

After 11 surgeries and ongoing chemotherapy treatments, Noah is still a smiling boy and a true inspiration! Support Noah by purchasing a bracelet for $5 (it is a green bracelet that says No One As Heroic for his name).
