December 26

Some people call December 26 Boxing Day.  Others call it "Return All The Unwanted Christmas Presents" Day.

As I was scrolling through my Facebook feed yesterday I realized that for a few families it is very bittersweet.

Sweet Damon Cardinal was born on 12/25/2006 in Canada.  The same year as Dan.  Damon fought with Niemann-Pick Type A for 15 1/2 months.

Nine years ago, the Heinze family in Michigan said goodbye to their son Tyler who had Niemann-Pick Type C.  This family will have to say goodbye to two more daughters.

In 2011, shortly after Dan died, sweet Calum Burdon in England lost his fight with Niemann-Pick Type C.





Please keep these families in your thoughts.  The holiday season will never be the same for them.
