New Event: 10/25 Monster Benefit Parade for Patrick O'

November of 2008, Patrick O’ (a Cub Scout of Pack 661) was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.

Over the past 11 months, Patrick has had two surgeries, rounds of chemotherapy, and undergone two stem cell transplants. At this time, there is no evidence of cancer in his system.

However, the risk of reoccurrence is high and in order to reduce the risk, Patrick is now participating in a clinical trial for an antibody therapy that can only be administered at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. This is a two-year treatment plan which requires monthly and bi-monthly treatments over the next two years. In addition, he will require trips for surgery, radiation, and long-term follow-up.

A fund has been set-up to help assist in the long-term care of Patrick O'. Through this fundraiser, we are hoping to eliminate some of the financial burden for his family. Therefore, we hope you and your family will support and participate in this fun family event. The O family extends their personal thanks for all who have prayed and cared for them during this very challenging time.

The neighborhood of Montclair Estates is proud to support the
